Phil S. Dixon is widely regarded as one of America's foremost experts on baseball history.  A knowledgeable and entertaining speaker, Dixon lectures regularly to colleges, high schools, and community groups, and is routinely quoted in print and broadcast media. Formerly in the Public Relations Department of the Kansas City Royals, Dixon now serves on the Board of Governors for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. He remains relentless in his pursuit of equality for African-American athletes in baseball and in sports in general.

He has authored nine books on the Negro Baseball leagues: The Ultimate Kansas City Baseball Trivia Quiz Book (Bon A Tirer Publishing), The Negro Baseball Leagues a Photographic History, 1867-1955 (Amereon House), The Monarchs 1920-1938

To prepare for these publications he interviewed hundreds of people and researched the topic for more than twenty-five years.

He was awarded the prestigious Casey Award for the “Best Baseball Book” of 1992, and a SABR MacMillan Award for his excellence in baseball research.

Dixon, a native of Kansas City, Kansas, enjoys the distinction of being the great-great-nephew of former United States Senator Blanch Kelso Bruce.  Another Cousin, Blanch K. Bruce, was the first African-American graduate from the University of Kansas in Lawrence.  Yet another relative, Henry Clay Bruce, wrote the slave narrative, A New Man, 29 years a slave, 29 years a free man in 1895.
