Went to the Negro Leagues museum in Kansas City a couple years ago, and copped a New York Cubans t-shirt.

Really cool, small, insightful museum all fans should visit if they’re in the area.

I came here to post this. I'm going to spend a 3 day weekend in the St. Louis area, most likely in the Spring. I'll pick a day to head out there to KC (250 miles).

Baseball being the greatest “unwritten rules” sport of all time bout to have some of the “purists” mad as hell at this




shoutout to the detroit stars

I believe most of Those purists are in the generation thats currently dying off

this is dope AF

What does this actually mean, though? Most of the stats from the Negro Leagues are incomplete. They didn’t have the resources of the MLB, so how will we ever know what the real stats are? Great gesture by baseball...long overdue....but exactly how does this affect any of the current records....outside of batting average, maybe?

I ain't going to front, I was emotional when I got the news, In my youth in the early 80's I heard stories from the elders about them, I read books on Cool Papa the fastest and greatest lead off hitter ever and should be the all time steal leader, The Dynasty Grey Team's, or how they scrimmage against the MLB all Stars and tore they asses up
Read how Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson played in the Negro Leagues but the early years are Legendary, Many Great Player's and teams

Long overdue. They deserve to be recognized for their contribution to this game as well.
