It was June 16, 1897, and the stands of New York's Polo Grounds were filled to capacity. Fans of the Giants had come to see their star pitcher, Amos Rusie, face off against the Cleveland Spiders and a rookie named Louis Sockalexis. From a Penobscot reservation in Maine, Sockalexis had grown up to become the first Native American Major Leaguer. "Strike the chief out!" taunted the crowd, as Sockalexis stepped up to the plate and awaited the fateful pitch. Full-color paintings. Afterword. Bibliography.
