In 1955 an all-black YMCA baseball team experiences segregation as no white team with play them. The South Carolina team travels to Williamsport, PA for the Little League Baseball World series as guests. The team, however, is permitted to practice on the field and the crowd soon chants, "Let them play!".
The illustrations capture the feelings of the players. The Epilogue shares how these much older men visit Williamsport, PA to be on the field once more.
