"Your motivation for writing this book. Thirteen years old. I had a former ballplayer. Urban casteel who told me. I should read a book Because i had already gathered so many stories at the age of thirteen so i it was definitely a long time coming and now over the last you know ten plus years since mr casteel told me to write that book i've i've collected even more stories and you know by releasing more former players so i just i felt like you know ten plus years of stories and we might not have much more time to be able to really get many of the players who were interviewed in the book to sit down and and really talk. Because you know we're losing is constantly as you reflect back on all those stories on compelling thought that comes to your mind. After hearing all those stories. I think it with with each player's story. Just see the passion for the game of baseball regardless of you know the hardships that they had to go through at the time. And i just i get so much joy from just you know hearing you know still hearing in these guys voices You know how much they really you know. What the game. And how they're regardless of pay or what. They had to experience on the road. Baseball was their thing that that's exciting. And what's the essence of their passion for the game as you think about all the interviews and all the things that they said about playing baseball i think they just played for the love of the game. I think that's what fueled their their passion. And how did they deal with the slights of that particular time for african american players and people. I think it would definitely one of those things that you know was not you know just been negative side effect of going out on the road. I think chains. He's one of the ball players in the book and he and he talks about just the conditions on the road and the food that they had to eat out there. Just it was. The reason just couldn't do it anymore and when you're traveling and sleeping on a bus it gets very difficult for you to play your best game of baseball when you're crammed in on a bus and you haven't slept in a bed for a couple days so i know you introduced me to a couple of the negro league baseball players and one thing i always remembered was them talking about traveling through the south and that when they got to a hotel the white teammates were able to sleep in the hotel and they had to sleep out on the porch and that was very telling story. I thought what else happened. During that period of time that they told you about One ballplayer also mentioned in the book. James kabwe adder berry was in birmingham alabama in sixty three. He was playing during one of the final seasons of the negro league with the philadelphia stars and the kkk showed up at the team's hotel and kinda shook them down once. They realized that they were just baseball players and not treat them writers they. They kind of let them go. But that was definitely. You know. Eye-opening i can't imagine you notice being a young eighteen nineteen year old ballplayer in a different city and all of a sudden the kkk. You know about to shake you down and who knows what happens next and thankfully they they let them go about their day and also tell me a little bit about the games that they did play. What those negro league baseball games were like. So the negro league was a bit different than the major leagues especially towards the fifties and early sixties as the league started to decline so then eagerly you would have games games where. Let's say a team like the memphis. Red sox plays the kansas city monarchs. And then you would also have exhibition games where let's say. The kansas city monarchs played a league game against memphis red sox and now they're one st over and they're they're playing a white team or they're playing another high level black semi protein so they would fill in with those kind of games as well so it was kind of just and they'd use their their famed name up. Being kansas city monarchs have been eagerly helps out for those but the the negro league had a large fan base billing back to the thirties and forties get more people to come to their all star game in the major leagues. It was the third largest black this country. People would go to the games if you look at old video clips. People would be dressed in his sunday. Best if he games it was really. You know great community. I always got the sense to that. The negro leagues were something of pride for the african american people. Am i correct in that observation. I would absolutely agree. And what did they. How did they look upon the negro leagues. Then i mean the negro leagues was. You know there was no other sports league. You know of of all black athletes. The negro league was you know d- place to be in in black sports and so you know people would keep up with their favorite players in the newspaper. Us newspapers like the chicago defender the afro american and they would they would cover all of these games and people kept up with their top stars and then obviously when you know major league. Baseball started poaching players. Jackie robinson some of that fandom kind of you know started to slip away as the top talent started to drift towards the major league. And with that you know the fans would rather see you know jackie robinson the brooklyn dodgers and go new york back. Yeah that's where i go. What was their reaction. Maybe collectively about jackie. Robinson finally breaking the color barrier and major league baseball. And i think at the end of the day You could ask this to former major league. baseball players. themselves is a former nearly baseball players themselves today. You know always just wanted to play in the need in the major leagues. So you know if you have a negro league team and then you have a major league team with only one or two black buyers the fans and the players who were one of one of the two black ballplayers on the now major league team they they would go there instead. So i think the the cloud of major league baseball was really just the end. Go for everybody to go toward. Have you had a chance to talk. Some of the negro league baseball players and get their reaction to the fact that their stats are going to be included in the major league. Baseball record book not spoken to a couple players about that and the major leagues New you know. Nineteen forty eight in prior incorporating their statistics. Most of those players have been deceased for quite some time. We really only have three to five players from pre nineteen forty eight that kind of fit into that category where they're statistics would be brought into the record books so i i haven't really got a solid opinion from the players who are alive. Most of whom do not fall into that category bay. Just they're just asking for some some more recognition or maybe an adjustment to the pension program really something that helps mechanize them as well because the negro league did go past nineteen forty eight and went past and i think forty eight for quite some time because major league baseball you're supposed to you know allowing blacks into their organization. You'd have quotas and even the boston. Red sox did not integrate until nineteen fifty nine. So the negro league still exist so the players that played in that time they really just they want something more. What do you want readers to take away from this book. Cam for the book is really. You know it's it's a story through. My eyes of how i know began eating these former players and researching the negro league. But it's.

"During the Depression were a lot of criminals because they weren't allowed to be CEOs or Bankers cuz they're black but they were allowed to begin kingpins.

That's that that's kind of why it's there the monarchs where it came from the very beginning and the phone number. Organize Negro League too, and they also had Satchel Paige on the who's the most famous nuclear D player.
