Money Pitcher: Chief Bender and the Tragedy of Indian Assimilation

By William C. Kashatus 6.25” x 9.25”, 200 pgs.
This is not just the first biography of baseball great Charles Albert Bender. This is also a compelling book about social justice and Native Americans’ tragic pursuit of the white American Dream at the expense of their own identity, and sheds light on the role Bender played in opening the door to the major league for more than 120 Indians during the first half of the twentieth century.
