Fielder's Choice
Civil rights, Vietnam war, baseball
In 1969 Brad Williams thought baseball might save his life - if he wasn't shipped off to Vietnam. That spring he desperately needed a college baseball scholarship to escape a dreary future of working in Birmingham's gritty steel mills- and he wanted a girl of his own. Just when it looked like integration and the Vietnam draft shattered his neighborhood and tested his conscience. The time came to choose sides. He could keep his dreams if he played it safe and went along, like he always had. But how could he play it safe when so much was at stake? Finally, he made an agonizing choice. But was it the right one? |
