2014 All Star Game Fan Fest: The Negro Leagues

Long before black players would be able to play in for any major league team, the Negro Leagues started forming.  I found the jerseys, photographs, and write-ups fascinating...and touching.



I can scarcely believe the culture that would have prevented people from playing a game, regardless of race. 

These men were wonderful, passionate players.   I would really like to do some research on the various teams and players.  They deserve to be known and respected.


To the players of all races over the years, my sincere thanks!
