The Vietnam War, marriage, and a son came first, though, and his pitching arm would never make it to the majors. In the mid-1970s, he still had one chance to play: join the all African American Farmville All Stars in Farmville, Virginia. But this was the county seat of the Prince Edward County School District. Racial tensions ran deep. This is the true story of how the team co-captains, who had experienced the school closures directly, looked beyond skin color and gave a thirty-something white guy a chance. Other players and community members disapproved at first. Racial slurs were called out during Richard s first games. But eventually, the team accepted Richard, and the power of friendship and forgiveness prevailed on and off the baseball field. Signed by Author(s).
