Book Synopsis Ted Strong Jr. by : Sherman L. Jenkins
Download or read book Ted Strong Jr. written by Sherman L. Jenkins and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ted Strong Jr. (1917-1978) was a two-sport athlete, a major star of the Negro Leagues and one of the original Harlem Globetrotters. His prominence in the Negro Leagues led Branch Rickey and other white baseball league owners to consider Strong as one of several possible players to integrate major league baseball, and he was a key force on the basketball court when the Globetrotters defeated the then-invincible Minneapolis Lakers in 1948. Despite his athletic dominance in the 1930s and 40s, Strong Jr. has largely been forgotten in American sports history. In Ted Strong Jr.: The Untold Story of an Original Harlem Globetrotter and Negro Leagues All-Star, Sherman L. Jenkins finally shares the fascinating story of this star athlete. Born Theodore Relighn Strong Jr. in South Bend, Indiana, Strong Jr., the eldest of fourteen children, was fortunate to have a positive influence in his father—a baseball player himself. Strong Jr. went on to play in seven Negro League Baseball East-West All-Star games, receiving the most votes in all of Black baseball history in 1939, and was a key member of the 1940 Harlem Globetrotter basketball team that won the World Professional Basketball Championship. Jenkins details all of this and more, including Strong Jr.’s frustrations with integration efforts promised by white baseball team owners and the eventual decline of the Negro Leagues after the entrance of Jackie Robinson into Major League Baseball. Through hours of interviews with Strong Jr.’s father and with friends and teammates of his brother Othello, along with extensive research of newspaper archives, this book provides rich insights into an unsung hero in the American sports landscape. For baseball and basketball fans of all ages, Ted Strong Jr.’s biography displays for the first time the determination and guts of a man who was idealized by many African Americans in the early twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the hazy looking glass of myopic hindsight, the Harlem Globetrotters have long been perceived as a wholly orchestrated minstrel show: colorful, novel, slapstick, entertaining, most of all, timeless. They have always been, the thinking goes, what they are today: a traveling cartoon show. Handclapping, audience-participation fun for the whole family. A welcome, belly-laugh relief from the worrisome realities of everyday life. Like the circus, they come to town once a year, same time, same place, same script. Only the cast changes. But during their 1946-1963 glory years Americans and fans all the world revered them not only for their showmanship, but their amazing shooting, precision passing and dazzling ball handling.. In 1948, the 'Trotters laid legitimate claim to being the best basketball team in the world. They proved it on the court. On Feb. 19, 1948, before a Chicago Stadium crowd of 17,823, they beat 6-foot 10 George Mikan and the all-white Minneapolis Lakers 61-59. That same season, the Lakers won the professional American Basketball League championship. By 13 games ahead of their nearest rival. The following February 28, the 'Trotters did it again, this time 49-45 in front of 21,866 Chicago Stadium fans. A few months later, the Lakers would win the first-ever National Basketball Association- their first of five in six years -- en route to becoming the NBA's first dynasty. In 1950, the 'Trotters and the nation's best college All-Americans played an 18-game, coast -to-coast series billed as "The World Series of Basketball." The 'Trotters won 11 of the 18. Over the next several springs, they won 65 of 91 all-star games, all played before sellout crowds, including 36,256 in the Los Angeles Coliseum, at the time a new national attendance record; 31,000 in the Rose Bowl; and more than 20,000 in Madison Square Garden and the Chicago Stadium. By the time the annual college all-star series was discontinued in 1962, the 'Trotters had won 166 and lost only 44. This is the behind-the-scenes story, as told by , among others, men who lived it, including not only their unparalleled successes and zany antics on the court but what life was like after the lights went out and they walked off the court and became merely 12 black men touring segregated America on a bus.
