About the Book
John "Mule" Miles, former Negro League Baseball Player and one of the grounds crewmen for the Tuskegee Airman has encouraged my family and I to have faith, be proud, endure and continue to move forward. A Legacy to Leave Our Youth tells of the determination of an African American Man who overcame the adversity of segregation, The Great Depression and survived.
He made up his mind to be the best. He wanted to play baseball and became a part of history. Mr. Mile is a prominent leader in the city of San Antonio, Texas. He is legendary for hitting eleven home runs in eleven straight games. He played alongside of many of baseball greats: Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Josh Gibson, and Satchel Paige.
With his strong faith in God and belief in education, Miles encourages youth by his mott: "It's Cool To Stay In School." With a sense of humor, positive thoughts and actions he has never been given up on his dreams.
