PS my mom didn’t know much about baseball LOL

I wish kids today could realize the history of the Negro Leagues. Growing up white in the fifties, it made me feel a little bit better about our country that black players could show how good they were when given a chance. It was hard for me to realize that it hadn't been that way very long and that so much was still to be done, and still is.

When I was about 9 years ago (this was 1972) I learned about the Negro Leagues and Satchel, Josh and many of the others. That is when they started inducting them into the Hall of Fame. I was so upset that they never let these greats play in their daya - and Satchel only got in when he was 40 years old. It would make a great movie to show many of the greats of the Negro leagues come to life and play the great white player brought together by the wishes of a young boy seeking to right the wrongs of history with a bittersweet ending.

@gregoryphillips3969 7 ай бұрын

@TheBatugan77 Wrong for you just means you have a lack of awareness. Babe Ruth did barnstorm across the country trying to bring baseball to the wider public. This is widely known. The best white major leaguers played against the best Negro league teams. The white major leaguers were losing those games handily. There was a special on cable TV that covered this. The commissioner at the time Kennesaw Mountain Landis put a stop to Babe Ruth's barnstorming because it was going to become too widely known that black players were not only equal to but superior in many cases to the current white players. His main goal was that as long as he was commissioner no black man would play in the major leagues. Jackie Robinson only came in 1947 after Landis passed away. You can write wrong all you want but these events have already taken place.

Josh Gibson and so many other that never got a chance to play. I'm also proud of him fighting for civil rights in the 1960' as a Democtratic Politicain That Marched with Dr King. My son has his letter from The Cincinatti Red's wanting to offer him a chance to play but at that time he had three kid's and baseball didn't pay much.

Nobody could tell me blacks were inferior when I was a boy. I'd just point to Joe Morgan, my hero as a kid. Growing up in the 70s and living about a half hour away from Riverfront Stadium I think watching the Big Red Machine with it's white American stars - Bench , Rose , Gullet , Black American stars - Morgan, Foster , Griffey , Latino Stars - Concepcion , Perez, Geronimo. It was a great way for a kid to see that it didn't make any difference what a person's ancestry was . Everyone has something to offer if they are given a chance. Not only could they all contribute but they were a TEAM . That team was a perfect example of that fact and a lot of kids dismissed the idea of racial division because they watched that Reds team and other MLB teams.

I am seeing a theme that is very appalling. Afro-Americans build a business that was more than successful being intruded upon or downright destroyed due to hatred. I am not talking about those riots that destroyed much of the infrastructure of Black Business' through outside influence, hate filled influence. I am talking about thriving business or communities destroyed through hatred. Afro-Americans have nothing to hang their heads about when such is the reason that business or communities were destroyed. If you truly know Adonai Elohim Yeshua HaMessiah Tzav'ot Rebuke the hatred because Adonai Elohim Yeshua HaMessiah Tzav'ot is Truth. Elohim is not to be Mocked. Shalom, L'hllel, Amen.
