"And that is in part because the great unveiling of this year's theme. You know, every year in recent years, you've picked out one particular theme that affords you the opportunity to go through some history and present some elements about a ballpark about a uniform, maybe about a cap. And we get such great feedback from our listeners about the way you dig into history. So what do you got for this year? Well, buster, based on the suggestion of a number, I would say, of listeners, this year we're going to take a look at what I'm calling forgotten fields. So we're going to look at ballparks of the past. We're going to spread this out throughout various fan bases. So it's not just going to be the Fenway's and Wrigley's of the field. As a matter of fact, neither of those will be in it because we're talking about ballparks of the past. It's a great topic and I think we're going to keep this rolling all season long with interest and we're going to bounce between the old the new and as I keep saying the good the bad and the ugly. So here just to give everyone an idea of Todd's level of interest in this topic, we hadn't actually talked about this year's theme and so I asked Todd in a conversation we had with Sarah and with Taylor, hey, what are you thinking for this year and he gave this concept? And he was like, and I already have 20,000 words written. Yeah, that's it. You know, my spring training buster, that takes place in January, maybe early February with some research into the topic. I've got stacks of books over here. I've got multiple tabs open. I have ballpark inspiration all around me here in my office. So once I thought that this was going to be the thing and let's face it, we've done this enough years. I am just diving right into the deepest end of the pool over here. But having said that, we're not going to talk about bank one ballpark chase because the deepest end of the pool might be in the outfield, but that's another topic for another day. All right. So we send out a poll earlier this week giving listeners, followers on Twitter, on Instagram, the opportunity to shape your choice for this week, and it was overwhelming what you're going to lead forgotten fields with, Todd. Yeah, it was a landslide buster. So today, we're going to talk about edits field in Brooklyn, buster. Is there any ballpark in the history of baseball that's been written about more than Brooklyn's edits field? Home to the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1913 until they departed for LA after the 1957 season, ebbets field has been celebrated mourned over and practically obsessed about since it fell to the wrecking ball in 1960. The Met's current ballpark, Citi Field, is a direct descendant of ebbets field with its arched exterior Canopy entrance and main rotunda directly drawn from its Brooklyn ancestor. The Dodgers spent 45 seasons in ebbets field and have played at their current home Dodger Stadium for far, far longer, but the romance and lore of ebbets is intrinsically tied into the history of baseball in the 20th century. Ebbets field was built on the site of what was described as, quote, in mail order is four and a half acre slum in the boroughs flatbush section. In its first MLB game took place on April 9th, 1913, a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, but what it edits represents goes well beyond the box score. Fans entered the ballpark via an elegant 80 foot wide 27 foot high rotunda made of Italian marble, 14 ornately decorated ticket booths encircled the area, which was topped off by a chandelier that was composed of 12 baseball bat arms holding 12 baseball shaped globes. Its footprint was almost exactly square, and those dimensions came to define the fact that Abbott was at heart, a true neighborhood ballpark with the fans were always closely tied to the game. The ballpark was expanded in the 20s and 30s at which time it took on the form that served as home to the boys of summer. Brooklyn's legendary clubs of the post World War II era. On April 15th, 1947, Jackie Robinson stepped onto the ebbets infield and made history as the first African American player in modern Major League Baseball. His arrival coincided with one of the most storied eras ever as the club won 6 pennants over the next ten years, topped off by the franchise's first World Series championship in 1955. By the late 40s and early 50s, the neighborhood around ebbets field began to decline. The ballpark itself was becoming structurally unsound. Hampered by bad plumbing, narrow aisles, a lack of parking and its small capacity. Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley moved 7 home games to Jersey City. In 1956, and he sold ebbets to a local real estate developer for $3 million the same year. O'Malley leaned hard on New York City officials to help him finance and build a new modern stadium for the club, but they would not play a ball. On May 28th, 1957 national league owners voted unanimously to allow the Dodgers to move to LA, along with a shift of the New York Giants to San Francisco. This meant that New York would be without national league baseball for the first time since 1882. A sparse crowd of 6702 fans attended the final game at ebbets field on September 24th, 1957. It was a two zero win over the Pittsburgh pirates. The ballpark hung on for a few years, hosting college baseball and other events. Finally, on February 23rd, 1960, the wrecking ball descended on ebbets. The same wrecking ball painted to resemble a baseball was used to demolish the Polo Grounds four years later. There is an ebbets field relic two miles north of its former location right up flatbush avenue at Barclays center, the home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. You can go there and you can see the center field flag bowl from ebbets field. Have a look, imagine the boys of summer and all the legendary Dodgers fans who cheered them on and think about the most celebrated ballpark of them all. Ebbets field, which is this season's first forgotten field. So the answer to my question, I'm going to ask you every weeks with these forgotten fields. I think you already presented the moment that I'm going to that I think is the obvious choice here, but I was going to ask you every week, which game would you wish do you wish that you would have attended in these forgotten fields, okay? So in Abbott's field in the history of Abbott's field, what would be the must have game that if you could go back in time that you want to say? Well, the Dodgers won their only World Series championship in Brooklyn on the road at Yankee Stadium, just a few miles away. So that would be the obvious choice if it were there. But I guess you go back to the very opening game and in the interest of brevity buster, I left out some details, the very first game at ebbets field, which I talked about in 1913, somebody forgot the keys. And somebody forgot a flag for that center field flagpole that I just referenced. So imagining image field, you see these photos from 1913, this pastoral setting. No buildings around it. It's hard to imagine and certainly we're going to talk about this all season long, but this would be one of those ballparks which was destroyed between before you and I were both born. It would have been something to have attended a game there. Yeah, and for me, Jackie Robinson's first game. I can't imagine, you know, the response there and the feeling in the building and the first time that he stepped out on the field for pregame warmups during batting practice, you know, watching the interaction between Jackie and his teammates, you know, and to see their response to him. Boy, that would have been cool to be there on that day. I moderated a panel on Jackie Robinson day last year with the Negro league baseball museum, including our friend bob Kendrick. And I went through contemporary accounts of that day. And the sense of aura in history that we have in retrospect did not seem to be in play that day. It was just, you know, it was opening day for the Dodgers, and here's Jackie Robinson and all of the stuff that kind of went down in spring training and the

"Makes the epic and historic announcement that it was recognizing the Negro leagues for exactly what we already knew to be a major league. And that had a ripple effect. You know, so all of a sudden, I think the engagement around the Negro leagues and the Negro leagues baseball museum, even though we were in the midst of this worldwide pandemic, the engagement around the museum started to grow. And so while the corporate support for our museum suffered tremendously because you got to take care of people. Health and Human Services absolutely moved to the forefront. Cultural institutions like the Negro league baseball museum get pushed a little bit on the back burner. But surprisingly, because of the level of engagement, we saw our individual support. Grow three, fourfold, and we were able to do things with the Major League Baseball teams that even heightened that engagement because they didn't add at most to do. You know they didn't have all the stuff they would normally have to do. And so we were able to absolutely capitalize on a situation that seems so dire initially. And like I said, we've been building on that momentum. We riding that wave of momentum. We get to bug being voted in and now buck O'Neill is leading what would have happened in 2020. Spiritually leading this effort right now. And so we are preparing to launch another significant fundraising effort you may have seen the amazing release of the animated shorts that we did with Major League Baseball. First ever series of animation on the Negro leagues that we did in partnership with Major League Baseball and the epic announcement of the inclusion of Negro leaguers in the Sony PlayStation video game, MLB, the show 23. And this too has had a ripple effect. You know, I'm so far removed from the gaming stage, you know, busting red I was playing on the video game, it was Atari. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I've had that conversation with my son. You know, try to explain to him Pong. You moving across slowly across the screen. So before I ask you about satchel page, tell me about how people can help if they want to help. Yeah, no, we welcome the support.

"And we've been operating steadily ever since. And I tell the story all the time. We were in the we were right in the mist buster of launching our 100th anniversary celebration of the birth of the Negro leagues. And this was going to be a major undertaking for the museum, a yearlong celebration. We were going to have a major fundraising campaign, built around the anniversary. We announced it on February 13th of 2020 with Major League Baseball and the Players Association represented there. And 30 days later, everything comes to a screeching hope. Just by that, I don't go coronavirus. And I'll tell you, I still don't know what a coronavirus is. I just know it wreak havoc, but as I also oftentimes talk about this as a steward of this story, you know you are not allowed to wallow in self pity. Right. That would be doing a tremendous disservice to those who call the Negro leagues home. But as I oftentimes say, there was some wallowing going on. Now, that was definitely some wallowing going on, man, because we had built this entire yearlong celebration. This was going to be the thing that was going to propel the Negro leagues baseball museum into the future. And all of a sudden, you feel so helpless. But also, and I use a terrible baseball analogy to describe coronavirus. Coronavirus buster was that big nasty right hander that threw one high and tight knocked you down and so you know you got to get back up. You got to dust yourself off and you got to get back in the baddest box and try to figure out how you gonna hit this sucker. And that's exactly what we were able to do and we launched a virtual campaign called tip your cap to the Negro leagues and the campaign goes viral and then all of a sudden the feeling of doom and gloom that was surrounding me at our museum turned to renewed hope and optimism. It's about resiliency and the story of the Negro leagues, the crux of it. It's about resiliency that resilience spirit that basically allow them to refuse to accept the notion that they were unfit to play this game. So I'll show you. And we had to channel that kind of resiliency and we were able to do that and to be honest, we had one of the best years in recent museum history became out of COVID in 2020 and we've been writing that wave every since. With buck O'Neill going into the national baseball Hall of Fame, which I did not think was going to happen. You know, this was an improbable event that took place when buck is voted in and then last year, of course, being inducted into the national baseball Hall of Fame. So let me ask you one of those lines as you were talking, I was thinking about, you know, the Texas Rangers sort of lived in a parallel universe as you in so to speak because they open up a new ballpark in 2020 was going to be the year that they were going to sort of relaunch their franchise, right? And they didn't have an opportunity to do that. And they still have been trying to recover, which is why you've seen them spend big money on Corey Seeger and Marcus Simeon and Bruce bochy and Jacob de Grom, and they're clearly sort of trying to relaunch that. Did you guys have any discussions about somehow relaunching the idea of the hundredth anniversary? Because I remember being excited about that. If there's some form or some way to do that. Yeah, and we all were, but again, even though we couldn't do all of the events that were during that year, think about what happened in December of 2020. Major League Baseball

We apologize friends for the lengthy introduction tonight, but realizing how few of you listeners were aware of the Negro baseball leagues, much less the Star player who resides to this day right here in Baltimore, we decided to fill you in before we get down to business. Leon Day was born in Alexandria, Virginia. On October 30th 1916 versatile player, Leon played both second base and the outfield in this 22 year career. He was a switch hitter who was consistently around the 300 mark. One time day was locked in a 00 pitching battle with his old rival, central page.

He appeared in a record seven Negro League All Star games between 1935 and 1946 and set an all Star record by striking out a total of 14 batters. His best season was in 1937. When in league play, he finished the 61 game season going 13 to 0 with a 00.3 20 average. You know, I was telling Leon I made this terrible mistake when I was making a comment on his wonderful Leon Day Day, and I said his batting average. I abbreviated three. Oh, and I really did mean 300. I said, I was so terribly embarrassed. I got it right tonight at 3 20 average during winter ball in 1939 to 1940. Leon Day established a new Puerto Rican league record for strikeouts in a single game with 19. He also led the league that winner with 168 strikeouts in 1942. Leon Day established a Negro League record. By striking out 18 Baltimore He like Giants in a single game later that year, 1942 during the All Star game, he and Satchel Paige each entered the game against each other in the seventh inning. With the score tied 2 to 2 Leon face seven batters struck five of them out the last four in succession to end the game and beat page 5 to 1942 Leon was named to the Pittsburgh carriers All start. Boy, We got a lot of stuff when you telling Yeah American team for the Negro Leagues, Day and page were rated the two best pictures that they being rated over page. The paper said.

After 2.5 years in the Army, Listen to this guys. Leon came back and pitched an opening day no hitter against the Philadelphia Stars.

Leon finished the season with at one point 58 earned run average. Leon Day spent the latter part of his career pitching as you call it, Triple A. Can. I call it that Triple A sounds? Well, I know that is triple a baseball for Winnipeg and Brandon in the Canadian League and finally retired at the age of 41 in 1956 Day, began his playing career with the Baltimore black socks in 1934. The same year they moved to Chester, Pennsylvania. He returned in 1949 to play for the champion Baltimore Relight Giants.

"Greg funding and and more important sore. Says he probably divined from my music choices today. I like a lot of other music. Fans have been lamenting the loss of rolling stones drummer. Charlie watts who died at eighty. This week i love the stones. Of course but i was also just drawn to watts for a few reasons. I think for one thing. He never got driver's license. Just like me so sort of a kindred spirit but i also think i have a soft spot for people who break the mold a bit. Don't look like all the others have never really felt like someone who belongs to things as watt said. He never filled the stereotype of the rockstar. And of course he was extremely important to the stone sound but he never led their lifestyle or really had their look although he was quite a snappy dresser and a cool cat i always enjoyed when watching the stones live either on video or a few times in person you'd see what sitting behind mick jagger who's princeton strutting around the epitome of the flamboyant frontman. Then you'd see. Charlie watts perched right behind him looking like he'd dropped in from some other much more restrained band or another profession in different social circle in seeming. Very blase about it sometimes. Maybe even making a roof face as if wondering how he got there. He was never very enthused about touring. And so i'll admire the mix. And keith's i sorta see more myself in the charlie's maybe that's why when i was a yankees fan bernie williams was my guy not really your usual jock amore. Soft spoken gentle soul and jazz guy. Just like watts was and also like watts was kind of content to be in the background pit and maybe even not to be included in that quote unquote core for even though he was just as integral to the yankees offenses watts was to the students. Rhythm section watts was always himself he led his hair go white while so. Many of the rockstars tried to maintain some of the appearance of youth. Even during the band's heyday he was sort of the eye of the rolling stones storm and everyone jokes about keith richards. Outliving everyone but i always sorta suspected it would be what even though he slightly older he had to figure. There was a lot less mileage on his odometer. So that's part of why. I was sorry to see him go. Also the stones are such an institution and during my lifetime their longevity has been such a big part of their brand that it was kind of a shock to learn that. Actually they can't keep going forever. And even the drummer of the energizer. Bunny of bands can't keep the beat indefinitely and not for the reasons that brian jones couldn't but just because of old age infirmity which comes for us all now because this is a baseball podcast. I figured i should tie this little tribute into baseball. Watts never missed a rolling stones concert after he joined the band. He was an iron man and appropriately. He was born on the day. That lou gehrig died and he died on cal. Ripken's birthday beyond that. Though i was just talking to a somewhat obscure major leaguer we just met a major leaguer john path and as i said to him there's been more of an effort lately to get to know some of the lesser known players of the negro leagues and one such player who recently received major league status from an lpn at baseball reference. Is a man named charlie watts. Charlie watts played in the negro national league from nineteen twenty four to nineteen twenty seven mostly for the saint louis stars and as it happens. Estonians are slated to play their first post watts concert in saint louis of all places. Now i hope charlie watts drummer would have appreciated. Charlie bots the baseball player because back in two thousand fifteen. The day after the stones played kansas city. Charlie watts visited the american jazz museum and the negro leagues baseball museum. Making keith did not attend now. The more recent charlie. Watts probably would not have seen anything about the older. Charlie watts on display in the museum and in fact not much is known about the baseball charlie. Watts this is one of the tragedies of the fact that the negro leagues were overlooked for so long. There's generally ample information available about any twentieth century player in the white major leagues. You can look up the sabre bio of john path. And it's thousands of words long but a player like charlie watts mostly a mystery. Of course we know the josh gibson's in the central pages but the more marginal players. I think that's where the difference in name recognition and just in general knowledge is stark. So if you go to charlie watts as baseball reference page you can see his stats. Courtesy of seam heads who is not much of a hitter six eleven oh s in the games that were recorded although he did have a fine offensive season in one thousand nine hundred and five for the stars he hit two thousand eight three eighty three or four sixty eight in fifty four games. It's known that he threw right handed. But it is not known whether he batted right or left who is an infielder. He played first second short but his birthday is not listed either. I wanted to find out a little bit more about him. And so i emailed a few negro leagues researchers and they and i scoured some archives. And it's tough to find much. Maybe if you were to dig into the microfilm in a library somewhere you could come up with more. But more cursory search at slim pickens in fact if you look on newspapers dot com. There's really nothing there. When reference we found actually uses the wrong name for charlie watson. Qasim eddie watts. There is some confusion about the name but it does note that he was fast at fielding a ground ball and had a great throwing arm. however i do have a fine photo that gary ashville sent me and a link to that on the show page. It shows charlie watts sending next to the hall of famer willie wells. He has his glove on his left. Hand and gary did some more digging. Found some records of a charlie watts. Say charles austin watts who was born in benton missouri on october eighth eight ninety seven of. There's even some disagreement about that date. We don't know for sure that. That's the same charlie watts but it would seem to match up and it was sim as five foot. Six one fifty. Which seems to match the photo of watts that we have standing next to wells who is five nine one. Seventy and some further digging revealed. That watts was a favourite or a protege of candy. Jim taylor uniquely league's player and manager. Who was the teammate. And manager of watts with the stars and then brought what's with him when he went to the cleveland elites in nineteen twenty six and beyond that the trail goes pretty cold. There's a lot less known about the baseball charlie watts. Then the drummer charlie. Watts you can find. Sporadic mentions of watson game stories. And of course he shows up in box course but based on the search. We just don't know much about who he was what he was like beyond the stats heat produced on the field..

The birmingham black barons along with many other black players stat lines. Bob kendrick runs the negro leagues baseball museum. He helped baseball reference. Dot com incorporate the new data into the site. We reached him in washington. Dc blah. what does it mean to you to see the words. The negro leagues are major leagues splashed across baseball reference dot com. Today is exciting. It makes us feel proud. It makes us feel like we've been part of a movement that s led to this date. I felt the same way in december when major league baseball made the initial announcement that it was recognizing the negro leagues. We are ready to to be a major league and so against the day is still just yet another step in that. I guess what some validating just how significant the negro leagues were both on and off to feel now the addition of this data. How does it change the landscape in terms of major league baseball statistics in record holders up still trying to determine how this is all going into the integrated but at least have this information readily available. I think it helps those who clamor for this kind of information you know. Baseball is that useful game of comparisons and statistics. But always 'cause people that the numbers are merely contextual. You can never reduce the negro leagues to just mere statistics but for that group of individuals would need that to maybe help substantiate. How good josh. Gibson words satchel page or cool papa vail or the other legends of the negro leagues and that is very important but we also know that this story is so much bigger than the numbers is so much bigger than the game of baseball itself. It's the story. It's legends right and who the black players who should have been household names like babe ruth or barry bonds you. You mentioned some of them. Just tell us the stories of those men. Jack should know about the great. Cuban clear mountain hugo nicknamed el maestro. The master because he could do it all played all nine positions. Played all nine of them. Well he is the only baseball clear in the history of our sport to be enshrined into five different countries baseball hall of fame. He's in the mexican. Cuban venezuelan dominican and cooperstown oscar charleston. Who might dear friend and founder of the negro league baseball news in negro leaguer in his own right john buckle neil would say without hesitation the greatest baseball player he ever saw he thought willie mays to be the greatest major league and most people can curb because willie mays could beat you every way in which you could be. It could beat you with his bat with his arms with his legs with his glove with amazes illustrious professional baseball rig again in these same negro leagues but he thought oscar charleston carol to be the greatest baseball player he ever saw and again is not a household name and it should be now. The names that i mentioned earlier the satchel pages in the cool pocket bills and josh gibson's those of names that did transcend mainstream. Most baseball fans have at least heard over. Even if they don't know just completely how great they really were. Because i tell you now they're greatness. We'll defy whatever numbers are brought into play because what the numbers won't tell you is that in nineteen forty-three the kansas city. Monarchs james leslie. Wilkinson bought an airplane. He can fly. Satchel pays to go play for other teams. He hired him out to go pitch for other teams within flying back. Go pitch for the cancer mama. Those numbers tell you that would including the numbers. i mean. Just looking at at at a quote from josh gibson's great grandson shawn gibson. Who says that you know you're always knew that was it was. He was known to be the greatest black baseball player of all time. Now he says we can say. Josh is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time. That's the change right. That is know they were for the entire time. They didn't want to be seen as a black baseball player. They just wanted to be baseball players. Which is by when bait wet to spanish speaking countries around the globe. That's how they received. But that's the quest. I think of black people in this country by and large in no matter what the ever is is that you just want to be recognized for what you do not call the skiing at you do it. But because of segregation because it created this need for a separate league that is now what we've gotten but we have is mindset that this lee was somehow inferior to the league that would let them play and so hopefully now. We're helping people understand. There is a kind of equal structure. Here that this lead. The negro leagues really would not take a backseat to any late and he's negro leagues created out of segregation hatred racism. But also out of the love of the game that were born and that's worked reigns supreme about this story and what we talk about it and the context in which we share this story at the baseball museum. We understand the circumstances that created a need for a negro leagues segregation. Was a horrible chapter in america's history but the story of the negro leagues themselves. There's nothing sorrowful That story it is triumphed over that adversity and is based on one. Small simple principle. You won't let me play with you. Then are create league amount. That's the spirit that this country hails and how the negro leagues in bided. That spirit really. Unlike anything in the annal of american history and that's why so triumphant in nature. Well bob i really look forward to learning more of the legends of baseball that we have not heard and all these years and thank you for the work. You do all it my pleasure. Thanks so much for having me all right. take care. Bye-bye bye-bye bob. Kendrick is the president of the negro leagues baseball museum. We reached him in.

Dot com incorporate the new data into the site. We reached him in washington. Dc but what does it mean to you to see the words. The negro leagues are major. Leagues splashed across baseball reference dot com. Today is exciting. It makes us feel proud. It makes us feel like we've been part of a move that that s led to this date. I felt the same way in december when major league baseball made the initial house net. That it was recognizing the negro leagues ready to be a major league and so against today is still just yet. Another step in that i guess. What some validating. Just how significant the negro leagues were both on and off to feel now the addition of this data. How does it change the landscape in terms of major league baseball statistics record holders up still trying to determine how this is all going to the integrated but to at least have this information readily available. I think it helps those who clamor for this kind of base. You know baseball is that beautiful game of comparisons and statistics but always causing people. That the numbers are merely contextual. You can never reduce the negro leagues to just mere statistics but for that group of individuals would need that to maybe help substantiate. How good. Josh gibson satchel page or crew papa vail or the other legends of the negro leagues. That is very important but we also know that this story is so much bigger than the numbers is so much bigger than the game of baseball itself. It's the story. It's legends right and who. Who are the black players. Who should have been household names like babe ruth or barry bonds you. You mentioned some of them. Just tell the stories of those men you should know about the great cuban clear montenegro to higo nickname. El maestro the master because he could do it all played all nine positions. Played all nine of the well. He is the only baseball player in the history of our sport to be enthroned into five different countries baseball hall of fame. He's in the mexican. Cuban venezuelan dominican and in cooperstown should know about oscar charleston who might dear friend and founder of the negro league baseball in the negro in his own. Right john buckle. neil would save without hesitation. The greatest basketball player. He ever song that he thought willie mays to be the greatest major leaguers and most people can occur because willie mays could beat you every way in which you could beat you with his bat with his arms his legs with his glove and with amazes or lustrous professional baseball career began in these same negro leagues but he fought oscar charleston. Carol to be the greatest baseball player he ever song and again is not a household name and it should be now. The names that i mentioned earlier the satchel pages in a cool pocket bells and josh gibson's those of names that did transcend mainstream really. Most baseball fans have at least heard overs maine's even if they don't know just completely how great they really were. Because i can tell you. Now they're greatness will defy whatever numbers are brought into play. Because what the numbers tell you. Is that in one thousand nine hundred forty three the kansas city monarchs owner james leslie. Wilkinson bought an airplane. So he could fly. Satchel pays to go play for other teens. Hired him out to go. Pitch for other teams have been flying back. You'll piss cancer mama. Those numbers will tell you that. But i guess i would bike including the numbers are just looking at at at a quote from josh gibson's great grandson shawn gibson. Who says that. You know that you always knew that josh gibson was it was. He was known to be the greatest black baseball player of all time. Now he says we can say. Josh is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time. That's the change right the change but you know what they were striving for the entire time. They didn't want to be seen as a black baseball player. They just wanted to be baseball players. Which is why when they went to spanish speaking countries around the that's how they were received but that's the quest. I think of black people in this country by and large in no matter what the endeavor is is that you just want to be recognized for what you do not call the skiing at you do it but because of segregation because it created this need for a separate league that is now what we've gotten but we have it's mindset that this league was somehow inferior to the league that wouldn't let them play and so hopefully now we're helping people understand that there is a kind of equal structure here that this lead the negro leagues really would not take a backseat to any and he's negro leagues created out of segregation hatred racism. But also out of the love of the game that they were born. And that's what reigns supreme about this story and what we talk about it and the context and we share this story at the negro leagues baseball museum. We understand the circumstances that created a need for a negro leagues segregation. Was a horrible chapter in america's history but the story of the negro leagues themselves. There's nothing sorrowful about that story. It is triumphed over that adversity and is based on one. Small simple principle. You won't let me play with you. And i created league amount. That's the spirit that this country hails and somehow the negro leagues in fight that spirit really unlike anything in the annals of american history and that's why so triumphant in nature above bob. I really look forward to learning more of the legends of baseball. That we have not heard all these years and thank you for the work you do all. It is my pleasure. Thanks for having me all right. take care bye. Bye bye bye bob. Kendrick is the president of the negro leagues baseball museum. We.

That's great now in nineteen eighty. You became the youngest player ever to be seated at wimbledon. Now that record was broken by jennifer capriati in nineteen ninety. I remember i finally made it to wimbledon in one thousand nine hundred eighty two and I queued to get onto santa cord. I saw jimmy connors. Play somebody there. I saw you warming up on one of the outside courts. Now tell us. A little bit about the atmospheric win vs rolling garros said The us open in flushing. Each grandson has a distinct character. They're coming up almost like a personality and french open. Obviously with the red clay players. You know you could breach fights you basically gut it out and and you couldn't do a lot of fitness over and over and and hopefully come out at the successor. Their women's completely different. When i played the glass with much faster. Different type of now. The grasp. The ball Sometimes they bond dons a little higher so we can. They make the ball different. Sometimes they let them out sometimes. It could really affect game that way but women has an order. It's the history it's all white. It's the it's just a classic atmosphere. The fans are little bit more reserved. You get to the us open and you could smell. The hotdog rendered the hamburger. The lecture crowd. I mean the crowd is just something spectacular. And once you land in your city if you're not used to hearing like fitting lays it almost elevates you to a different level of tennis because you just you feel electric because of the energy of the city and the crowd so each in australian open obviously has its of the state person audience. He got the french open. It was something pretty spectacular and and now very quick and the schedule is coming up in just a couple of weeks and the right after. Yup i have a photo of you I i found that the other day but it's from one of those one ten pocket cameras at kodak came out with not too many pixels in those things back so it's not a blurry but the you will. You defeated chris. Everett in the semi final at the french. But you lost the final to martina. Tell us a little bit about playing with those two women. I weighed in a very exciting era at my early chris. Evert martina our ability those to help make when fort push in addition and other square in my era part of making sports what it is today and incense from me turn pro at fourteen and i was tune the world at sixteen. So you're in that something incredible happening in sports. And i watch those players growing up on tv then not so much. I very was more about the like wide world of sports in the olympic sports. And when i went to go play against martina billie jean. I wasn't intimidated. I didn't feel as if they were that sense. Even when i was a kid and so when i played chris a few times and then a loss those and eventually beater first time on hardcore then on clay and then again klay convert the rolling growth clay. It would to me one of the easiest to just really well so well actually go back down practice reading a different opponent and a better opponent that sense you know when you quit you against legends like that you only really recognize the significance of it constantly like decade later even years later and now i look back and go. Wow you know one of the few people that have ever beaten courtesy hanging during my martial that is the great perspective to look at it. That way andrea. Definitely the those women chris. Evert martina navratilova. Billy jean king all idols and All legends in tennis. Is there anyone who maybe took you under the they're weighing. I mean you were just a kid like you said is did anybody take you under their wing and say listen. Let me show you the ropes or anything like that. No no i think. Individual sports are very different. I believe olympic sports that are individual. That might happen for drama team representing your company. It didn't happen in in sport at that time. And i don't know if it you now on shirts very different. There's friendships that are made on the circuit because people can separate it back then very different atmosphere can't the last like i ever wanted to be in the locker room.

"I'm Dr Bob Parana, miss our guests, Ted, nor and we're ready with this question. Where you surprise date last year when Commissioner Manfred Announced that the Negro leagues were being considered a major league. And how did you feel about it? Okay, well, I was surprised by the timing and when I woke up that day, it was not on the top of my mind, especially during this terrible year we were having with pandemic. However. I didn't know of the thought. And one major league baseball announced which they did an opinion. Lindbergh COLUMN earlier that year. Uh Is that it was thinking about it. A e don't think it would have been possible, particularly in 2020 for them not to follow through with the right thing. So I wasn't surprised that it happened. I was surprised that it happened on that marvelous day and December 16th was definitely the The best day of 2020. That's the way I felt any way too. Yep, it's been, and it's taken such a long time. But it came so quickly after iftar looked like we We're going to get there for one reason or other. And so What? Where do we move from there? Well, first, it wasn't universally, uh, a potted, of course. But I was very happy that most That to my ears of the disagreement came from Negro League supporters. Oh, criticizing it thing for late being late. But of course The alternative was for it. Not happening. Oh, yeah? Yeah, And they criticized by whether authority does Major league have to declare the Negro. There was a major league and I I'm in sympathy with that thinking, but it was the same authority that 50 years earlier. The major leagues designated six Thank you gated white leaks as the major leagues and did not even consider because I've asked officials Do not even considered the Negro leagues. 1969 So whether you like it or not. They not only had the authority but they used it to the detriment of the Negro leagues. So I don't think they're redeemed yet, but I hope they get there. The Negro League players. They already knew they were major league, but it's nice to get the AKA pack a lot. And it doesn't forgive the sins. I don't think that was the intent of the Negro leagues. So where do we go from here? Well, there were three announcements Well, two announcements that day and a third left hanging. Number one. They know that the Negro leagues were indeed a major league. That meant that six White segregated legs were going to be joined by 77 Negro leagues. Now there's 13 major leagues, and that's That's great if the whole fame is going to be an educational institution. This helps them educate what was going on in baseball and and in the country. In the first half of the 20th century. Blood and the second thing and I don't mean coop of this. The integration of the stats into the major league Baseball cannon is also a good thing. And because of the work of Larry Lester, Dick Clark and the Saber Negro League Committee and seem head And in the future, Really? Life sports Bureau is the iron the stats up. We're gonna be able to compare not just the stars, but Mark Blanchard is a good example. We're gonna be able to notice Jakey Stevens of Hildale with the Mark Palander of the Negro leagues. Spectacular glove. Uh, I am not much of a bet. Although They both could come through under pressure situations. But this is part of what we've missed with Negro Leagues. Legends are wonderful. Uh, but, uh, being told that someone staffed is in the speed of light on only goes so far, and it actually served in my opinion caricature than a Negro leagues. Allowed thunder guns. I cleaned that up there a little bit, Bob, but sunder guns tol to dismiss it. We're now when you see that Josh Gibson might not. It is many home runs of the base. Because of the number of games they play in league games. But it is great is faster than nobody has Ah, higher rate of home runs during the segregated era. Then Josh Gibson, other than the paper. I was surprised when I looked at that because I thought Jamie Foxx probably would have been number two. But he's not know skips and Josh Gibson is second. 5.9% of his plate. Appearances are home runs, and these are the kind of things also Leon Day he will now become the second picture. Uh, I have no inner on opening day. Way already talked about rap. He's gonna be The record holder if he passes muster and because they are going to scrutinize these things. With 14 straight hits, Vic Hair's going to be the winningest manager percentage wife. The guys with more than 900 gangs managed So That's that's a big thing. But the third announcement that didn't happen. And this is frustrating because it's about what I spent the last two hours talking about On December 16th major leagues were joined by their historian John Thorne, by Bob Kendrick of the Negro League Baseball Museum. By the Life Sports Bureau by Team Heads by baseball reference, calm At the National Baseball Hall of Fame was not represented. At least I'm certainly not aware if they were at that announcement, and that's the third announcement that has to happen. Or Negro League Baseball players need to be put into the baseball Hall of Fame if they're gonna do their job of educating the public about baseball between 1900. In 1946 well, when they certainly have the material. The Negro leagues certainly have the material toe. Put in another 10 or 15. Yep. And I respect that answer, but I would double it. Okay, Well, you want to take 30 or 40? Yes. Okay. Why 18% of the players in the hall under segregation or Negro Leaguers? Oh 43% of the hall Since since Jackie Or would it had been Negro leagues or non white? I'm not saying you gotta match. It would take 70 some players the match. I'm not requiring that there's other factors involved. In fact, maybe it should be 80 or 90. I don't want to be limited by that number, but I know 15% certainly needs to go in and if they want to take a short cut, there's 22. Person who's on the ballot. From 2006. They could put all in That they don't like that. There's four players on the all set the centennial team picked by the Negro League Museum in conjunction with a private sector group, and I can't call the name but Jake Odd Well, does an excellent job piling it. And before I just want to name these four names They're on the all century team that are not in the home is only four. Pick reading and John down from his pictures. Bucko knew the manager Mark O'Neil. Yeah, and there's one position player, Bob, and I think you know who that was. One position player When position player I didn't the whole on the centennial team. I hope you've been listening to me for two hours. Oh, grab diction. Is that the guy you're talking about?.

"And, uh, the fact that his roots we're talking about one of somebody even idea the greatest Major league baseball player of all time. That is roots of firmly entrenched in the Negro leagues. Starting as an 18 year old kid leaving Mobile Alabama to go join the Indianapolis clowns in 1952, as you mentioned Skinny, cross handed hitting shortstop. When Mr Allen's case, he was a right hand hitter who was hitting with his left hand on top. That, of course, is enough to doctor the fears that you break your wrist Sitting in that matter, Henry Aaron was not going to cover off the baseball in a highly unorthodox fashion when he gets to the clouds that good right hand on top. And the rest, As we say is history. So, yeah. So for so many who come to the museum, there's this wonderful, almost non descript photograph of him. Standing at the train station about to go leave to join the Indianapolis cloud. He must have weighed 100 and 50 £160 you know at that time, and he looks a little bit afraid. And yet there was also kind of look like okay, he's destined for greatness. You know, and he has a bag, a little duffle bag at his foot. And he told me says, Bob, I may have had Changes of clothes in that bag. Dollar 50 cents in my pocket and a ham sandwich that my mama had made me going to go chase that dream. It worked out pretty well for the happen. That's a great story. Bob Kendrick joins us this morning on the show, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. How about the staff that Hank Air and you could take away all 755 of his home runs? You still have 3000 hits. I mean, how amazing of a baseball player and a hitter was Hank Aaron. Great here a great here too, And I think sometimes that gets often overlooked. Because of the home run. Actually, That's one of the most remarkable stats of all take all seven. Unfit five home. Other ways still has over. 3000 hits his total base record. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we'll never be broken. His R B I record will likely never be broken. He was a great defensive outfielder. He didn't get his just due because he played the corner outfield and you know, so he didn't play center field like really Did Willie the great lily bass? Ondo. That's the glamour position, but he always made the right throw. He always prided himself on being a student of the game. Steady. Good game just did everything right. He could still bases. You could still the whole lot more bases. You know if you wanted to. The Braves really didn't want him to steal a whole bunch of bases on, so he just did everything great. He was just a model and a pillar of consistency. But his numbers will never truly define who Henry Aaron Woz. Henry Aaron just happen to be one of the greatest human beings that ever walked the face of dessert. We'll just have to be one of the greatest baseball player. You ever walked the face of this earth on so what? We look at Henry Aaron to civil rights icon. Henry Aaron to philanthropist, humanitarian Henry Aaron, who dedicated his life. To try and help those who have been marginalized in this country gain equality on and that's the Henry Aaron that you know I will remember. And it's also the Henry and that the kid from Georgia got a chance to share again. Ah, platter of Gates, barbecue ribs with them every time he saw me, and he and his wife would say You didn't bring me the real review. A great life lived. Hank Aaron, one of the greatest life's ever lived Hank Aaron, and one of the great things about the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is that the community and the city of Kansas City Completely embraces it. And Buck O'Neil So many people around the country Remember Buck and his smiling face part of the baseball documentary by Ken Burns, and he was such a face of the museum, but the museum has picked up steam every year and every decade. And you've seen that and you've been front and center for that. Patrick Mahomes recently is really adopted it as one of his own as well placed that he loves going to baseball teams come into town to play the Royals. They often times will go there. Football teams well coming into play the chief's what type of evolution has the museum gone through in recent years? It's been amazing. It really asked. I mean, you think about this local grassroots organization that started a tiny one room office in 1990. Historic 18 design, and Kansas City wants a very problem, prominent African American community during that era of segregation, But like a lot of communities it had died, and here comes little Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to not on Lee Come along to preserve and celebrating, educate this piece of baseball and Americana that few folks knew anything about, but also at the same time, try and resurrect. This wonderful community that had a kind of died and when we started Buck O'Neil and other local Negro leaders who were still with us at that time that say they passed on. There's not a single player left in Kansas City. They literally took turns paying the monthly rent to keep that little office open. And with it our hopes and dreams of one day building a facility that would pay rifle tribute to not only one of the great chapters in baseball history, but what now? Thousands and thousands of visitors each and every year..

"Oh, rock again. How we doing, Everybody. Good morning. Thanks So much for joining us. Cool Show set up for you coming up this morning here on the program. Bob Kendrick, who's the president off the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. When I was working out there, I got to know Bob a little bit. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is an amazing tour through history and through culture and through America for anybody that's ever been there, they know. How special the places I love it, and I'm very excited to have Bob here on the show. Not long ago, Major League Baseball said that it would recognize the stats of the Negro leagues as professional baseball, which is Kind of seemingly obvious, but it was not for a long time. So the stats compiled in the Negro Leagues are counted as Major League baseball stats. Which is a pretty cool thing for all the guys that competed there, especially the legends like Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, etcetera so excited about Bob Kendrick joining us here on this show in our number three. Also in our number three we're gonna do back to back in the belly to belly. Sean Phillips, who was a Pro Bowl linebacker for the San Diego Chargers. Back in the To thousands and 20 tens. He played under Marty Schottenheimer. And, of course, Marty passing away yesterday, something we announced on the show and talked about as it happened as the news broke as we were on the air yesterday. So I'm going to in an hour from now Kind of go into my soliloquy about the career of Marty Schottenheimer. But even more impactful, I'm sure will be Sean Philips Stories. Matic does a guy that played under Marty when Marty was in his final stop in San Diego? Remember Schottenheimer. That was his fourth job in the NFL, and he was still getting it done. They went 12 and 41 year and 14 and two and Marty Schottenheimer's final season coaching. Final year of him on the sideline. He went 14 and two and was the one seed. That was his final season. In head coaching, so we'll do that coming up with Sean Philips in our number three as well Elsewhere this morning on the program If you missed Sunday morning football this past week on Super Sunday, you may have missed Warren Sapp's conversation, and I just I thought it was such a great conversation about his career and his motivation and since the Bucks ended up winning this game They are the first bucket ears team to hoist the Vince Lombardi since Warren Sapp's team in 2000 and two So I wanted to replace some of this for you. In case you missed it, because I thought that sat was just that cool of that fun. And the man's always been a Hall of Fame talker. He's now got a Hall of Fame bus to go along with that Hall of Fame talk, but I wanted to replace some of the best hits of Warren Sapp from Sunday morning football in honor of the The Buccaneers winning Super Bowl 55. So we'll do that coming up in a little over an hour from now. Also, Major league Baseball is going to change that extra inning rule for this year is well, What does that mean for the game? Russell Wilson is chirping about Be exacted hit too many times. What does that mean for him in Seattle and Counter green is back with us today. He's been with us all week because Beat Pallotti has been out for this week. And that means that we have another green party. And last week, Marazov proclaimed. A Britney Spears is hit me, baby. One more time is a top 25 song ever which, of course he's wrong about But either way, it was a bold proclamation. And so Connor is going to spin off that and deliver to us. The best Britney songs to play the party and the worst Britney song to play at a party since it is a green party that is coming your way next hour on the show, So we are just loaded this morning, which I'm excited about. I want to jump in on any of those topics or guests would have you 855 to 1 to four CBS. That's the phone number 855 to 1 to 4 to 27 or on Twitter, DEA on CBS, But we learned yesterday. I guess we learned on Monday as well. But we got more of a Fuller picture yesterday on Tuesday off the television ratings for the Super Bowl. Now I would have imagined as many of you I'm sure would say. The homes. Brady Must have done gangbusters. They must have just crushed it from a rating standpoint. Also To read so For the last. I don't know 10 to 12 days. It's been snowing nonstop in the Northeast. I think it's snowing again. Frankly, I don't think it's stopped snowing for about two weeks now, so we're all bundled up and stuck inside. So that almost always means big time numbers. You had the defending Super Bowl champions. Everybody seems to like to watch the chief's there on national TV all the time. They've got it exciting offense. You've got Brady and drunk in the band back together for the Buccaneers. You've got tons of history on the line, obviously, with no homes and Brady and the chiefs trying to repeat, so this had all of the makings of a big TV ratings night. And yet The last decade, There's only been two games to Super Bowls that went under 100 million viewers. That Patriots Rams stinker. Which is the worst Super Bowl of my lifetime. I think you have to go back to the blunder Bowl of 1970 is Maybe the worst Super Bowl. I think there's a combined 10 turnovers in that game. Like Rams Patriots, 13 to 3. I don't care that was close. It was a punk fest. It's sucked. It was terribly boring. No juice whatsoever. That was the worst Super Bowl of my lifetime. And then this one. Is that weird?.

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum know when you first heard about the life and learned about the career of F A manly What jumped out at you? What leapt out at you about her career. Yeah, I think the first thing was just that she had done. It was really just what she was able to accomplish in the thirties and forties. I started working active you them in the summer of 2004. I had just graduated with the sport management degree and By myself, working in a front office on myself, ultimately becoming a general manager of a major league baseball team. I wanted to work at a small market club and, you know, I had my own Moneyball aspirations. But at the time there was no one you know you mentioned in the intro Kim and what? Just becoming the first last year And so, you know, I would always say that. You know, I wanted to be the first but I really thought that Kim would beat me. Um And I don't know. I mean, I do know why it took so long One, but yes, see, Seen F um and what she accomplished back then was was really eye opening because a We didn't really know about it. You know, I just got my job at the museum and Up. Kendrick, who is the president now was giving me a cooler and, you know, I saw her picture in the corner and started asking questions and researching and reading and doing all the things and, Yeah, it was. It was remarkable because she had been owners, um, female owner his team before that they're you know, have been owners and Major League baseball and in the Negro leagues, but she Didn't just only team husband. She really handle the day to day did all the player contracts and negotiations or the equipment and manage the books and did all of the things that a general manager does. And she gave it back there. Open the book with a scene for the 1946 Negro World, Syriza and F Family's team. The North Eagles play and beat the Kansas City Monarchs. Why was this such a pivotal moment in her career and in baseball history? Yeah, it was. It was pivotal because of me. I'm sure I don't think she had. Why? No, she didn't have any. You know, she wasn't a little girl thinking of owning and operating a professional baseball team one day, but everything that she did. She did it to the degree. So if she's in based on now she wants to live. No, it matter that she, you know, Matter of fact celibate like she. She's been struggling. All this part 200 steam, You know, having having a professional team hard anyway, But doing it in black baseball was that much harder. You know, Budgets were tight, You know, they didn't. They didn't have their own stadium, very few black owners on their own stadium, so they were giving up. Hefty portion of gate receipts every single game to the white teams that they rented stadium space from so everything was always such a struggle. And so it was finally like, yes, this is this is what it was all for. It also missed it. Now, when you're the top team, right gate receipts go up because now people want to come see the best of the best to play in that team. Hurt. Here We really go goes on it. Larry Doby, who became the first black player in the American League following Jackie, who was first in the nationally he was on that team, one of efforts players Oh, yeah, It is a big deal. You know, Now that we see that, um Major League Baseball is element you know, has elevated the status of the peace Negro League players.

So in a little back background on efforts was born in Philadelphia, 18 97, and if you Google her her heritage has been debated for some time. Of and you write in your book that, according to US census records, her mother had at least some black heritage. And she and her mom and her half siblings lived his black Americans. She finds out later that her father Is white as the result of a relationship or affair, I guess how did she live in the world? And what impact did this have on the way she became involved in baseball and worked and lived in baseball. Yeah, As for definitely, um, you know, she took advantage of her fair complexion when she could when she needed to know she didn't interview later in life and talked about how you know if she was traveling alone, she would say in a white hotel or either the white only restaurant. Um, but I think that really that privilege is what enabled her to come back to Negro League baseball and say to it is boardroom in the In the conference is for the Negro National League.

Always nice to catch up with bob kendrick because he is the president of the negro leagues museum in the head. Negro leagues historian that museum. If you're ever in kansas city i urge you to stop by and take it in and of course i wanted to have bob on because the announcement was made by major league baseball that they finally decided to include the statistics from negro league baseball along with the major league baseball statistics. I saw quote. Bob that said by the time this stuff gets implemented and integrated with the regular major league data. The numbers will be a little bit different more complete. That's what we needed to have in baseball as well. What was your reaction to the announcement by major league baseball. It was exciting. I it really was. And although i'll be honest ronnie at my initial excitement when i first when i first caught wind of this because i was like a lotta people. I didn't even know about this. Nineteen sixty nine commission. That had lately. It's regarded the negro leagues at exactly what it is a major leads and so someone wrote about it and then it started to kind of pick up some traction and there was these questions swirling around about it and when it reach me and the thought that major league baseball in some way shape form fashion would be validating the players from the negro leagues and i took a little offensive that initially because i knew so many of these players. That's that's true. Did you know how proud they were. They knew how good they were. And they know how good their legalize and so they never sought validation from anyone and that was kinda my position but there had to be really look outside of myself and start to think about what this man from a historical perspective even beyond the numbers. And i know people will be enamored with stats because that's baseball but for me. The status only contextual. You never be able to reduce the negro league suggest a pistol data. And so when i started to look at it for its historical marriage. Its historical significance. Hit really dawned on the just how big this could be. And then as as major league baseball was going through the process of making this decision they you know clue me in on what was going on and so i had time to prepare. You know knowing that this was going to happen and so but it was still man. It was such a tremendously proud day for me all of us at the negro leagues baseball museum. And honestly i think all of us who called negro leagues home in some way shape form. Fashion what does this do as far as telling the story of baseball overall in your mind bob well it helps remind people of how great these leaks were the negro leagues and courageous these athletes. Who as i like to say forced a glorious history in the midst of an inglorious time in american history. And i do think ron that it makes the work that we do here in kansas city at the negro leagues baseball museum. That much more meaningful. Because i don't want. I don't want to see happen. Is that twenty thirty years from now. A new baseball fan will look at these statistics and see this integration of all these players there and think that it was that way all the time. It is important that they understand that. These leagues were segregated. At one point in time it was bad. No necessarily desire of those black players that they weren't included in the major leagues and so they did indeed create their league and this league became a great league. And i don't want that to be lost but has it helped. You're listening to the heartland news.

"Baseball is marking the anniversary of the Negro leagues created 100 years ago. The league's showcased black baseball players players who couldn't play on the major teams because of the color of their skin. Only a few members of the leagues are alive to celebrate the centennial Michigan radios, Doug Tribute spoke to the only surviving team owner and others about the legacy of the legendary leagues. In 1920 owners of independent black baseball teams from the Midwest gathered in Kansas City, Missouri. At that meeting they created the Negro National Leagues had no idea they were making history. They didn't care about making history. Bob Kendrick heads the Negro Leagues Baseball museum there, he says. Faced with segregation, black owners and players kept pushing for organized baseball. These athletes never cried about the social injustice. They went out and did something about so you won't let me play with you and I create my own And they did today. Stars like Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard and Satchel Paige are enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but thousands of black and Latino players endured bigotry and racist taunts. It was Tear before the players at that time. Many Forbes owned the Detroit Stars from 1956 to 1958. She lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that players try of them. They had nowhere to stay because of the discrimination, so they slept in the buses. And they couldn't go in places to eat so one person would go to the back door. When get food for all the players. Pedro Sierra pitched in the Negro leagues for several seasons in the 19 fifties. He grew up in Cuba and says it was tough to adjust to segregation and racism he saw in the US It wasn't easy to see all the problem with the raise. I know all about it, herb artist. But I hadn't experienced today. Sierra lives in New Jersey In 1954 he signed with the Indianapolis clowns at the age of 16. His salary was less than 5% of what white players were earning dollars a month a month, $100 a month. And I look back and say, Oh my God. Jackie Robinson played briefly in the Negro leagues. Then, in 1947 he broke baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in Cleveland, Larry Doby became the first black player in the American League. Coming seasons brought many more signings. But many Forbes sympathizes with the many athletes who were good enough to play in the major leagues, but never got a shot. Unfortunately, some of the good players by the time the time Came. They were too old to play. The last league folded in the early 19 sixties, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum estimates there are about 100 former players still alive. Forbes is 88 worries about being one of the last left to tell the story. And I just want a if I'm worthy of represent and speaking about the Negro League because When I got involved, things was easier for me. Then it wass father one before me. Many Forbes will keep sharing her stories with younger generations and others will to Major League Baseball has a day to honor the league's set for next month. The museum has pushed back its year long celebration of the centennial to next year and renamed it Negro Leagues. 101
