Based on the true story of how one man rose to the heights of baseball glory only to fall into the depths of the Texas prison system,Hank Thompson's Blues recounts the life of the third black player in the major leagues. Hank Thompson (1925-1969) starred for the New York Giants in the 1954 World Series before his drinking problems ruined his promising baseball career. Hank Thompson's Blues is a rollicking first-person account of Thompson's rollercoaster ride, the story of a man who overcame racism but could not corral his own personal demons.
