He left the broadcast booth to become the President of the National League for five years.A true pioneer as an African-American athlete, sportscaster and top baseball executive, White has written his long-awaited autobiography in which he is candid, open and forthcoming about his life in baseball. Along the way, he shares never-before-told stories about his long working relationship with Phil Rizzuto, insights on scores of top baseball names and Hall of Famers.
