Snagged the Satchel Paige Negro League bobblehead with my remaining legacy points. I love this one. His wind up was so unique and it’s a bit of NY baseball history I didn’t know about. #RepBx #BlackYankees #NegroLeague

The #Phillies took the series, so I thought it prudent to rock the Philadelphia Stars hat. #negroleague

Today in 1972 Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard were elected into the Hall of Fame, the 2nd and 3rd #NegroLeague players after Satchel Paige. The teammates led the Homestead Grays to 9 Negro National League pennants (1937-1945) and 4 straight appearances in the Negro World Series #MLB

Every now & then I’ll buy a “fake card” just to have that bit of ⚾️ history on cardboard. This #Aceo of Satch & Bill Veeck is an example. Veeck’s respect for #NegroLeague players AND owners & his efforts to integrate the game well before Rickey are too often overlooked.

Happy Birthday Splinter!

I love seeing all the old #NegroLeague jerseys on display in different cities.

I think a trip to Kansas City for the #NegroLeague sMuseum might be on tap in 2024.

Happy birthday to the GOD #GeddyLee 🤘🏽 #Bass #Synth #prog DEITY!. Even if I didn’t dig #RUSH , I told him his donation of multiple baseballs, signed by stars of the old #negroleague s to #negroleague #halloffame was the one of the most selfless things I’ve seen a #rockstar DO!

Real talk, I forgot I had the jersey until I saw the tee in my drawer.

#JimLeyland becomes only the fourth #HallOfFamer to be inducted as a manager without having played in the majors (excluding #NegroLeague managers). #MLB #MakingHistory #Congratulations

The oldest ballpark in the US, #RickwoodField in #Birmingham will host an official ⁦MLB⁩ game between the Cards and the Giants to honor the #NegroLeague . My son played there this year and put a hole in the scoreboard.
