Summary
"Cardinal Dreams revitalizes the legacy of Charlie Peete, a key figure in integrating the minor leagues with the breakout potential to be the first established Black position player for the St. Louis Cardinals. Peete changed the world for the better and left a lasting impact on baseball before his tragic death at just 27 years old"-- Provided by publisher.
