At the outset of summer break in 1959, Texas Tech senior Jerry Craft got a telephoned offer to play for a semipro baseball club he'd never heard of. When he reported for tryout he discovered he'd been recruited for the West Texas Colored League. Out of his two seasons with the Stars comes an unlikely story of respect, character, humour, and ultimately friendship.
