This book tells the story of the Eastern Professional Basketball League. Formed in the 1940s, it was a pro basketball institution for over 30 years, featuring top players who just couldn’t make the NBA—because of scandals, because they weren’t quite good enough, or because of unofficial quotas on black players.

Syl Sobel is the author of five children's books on U.S. history and government. He is an award winning-journalist, attorney, contributor to the op ed page of the Baltimore Sun, and was for many years the director of publications for a federal government agency. Jay Rosenstein is a former reporter for American Banker newspaper and a financial writer for a federal government agency. The authors grew up in Scranton, PA, home to one of the Eastern League's anchor franchises, the Scranton Miners. Rosenstein was a statistician for the team.
