I have never been to Cooperstown, but I have been to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. My father had told me that he had enjoyed Negro League baseball more than watching Major League baseball. I'm just glad I grew up when I did and got to see Willie Mays, Bob Gibson, and all the great black ballplayers who played in the fifties and sixties.
I've always wanted to visit the Negro Baseball HOF in Kansas City. Unfortunately every time I drive by they have been closed. Hopefully I can make it there before I die.
Father told me he seen Sach PAGE PLAY FOR BLACK YANKEES..between inning a 2×4 was placed on home plate with 3 wooden matches upright, it took 4 throws to take down all matches..the crowd gave a standing ovation .....
Buck has since been inducted into the to the Hall, but the fact that it took so long is terrible. There has been no better ambassador of the game of baseball than Buck O’Neil. Maybe no better man, period.
[8:43] ".... nearly court martialed from the US Army..." is not really correct. In the incident referred to (where US Army busses had been recently de-segregated - in theory, at least), Robinson sat next to a white woman (who was the wife of a white officer friend of his, and the couple both personally knew Jackie quite well). But this was a bit much for the bus driver, who kicked up an awful fuss. It didn't get Jackie court martialed, but it _did_ de-rail his chances of becoming an army officer. Not sure why that is, but.......
You seem to be well informed; however, what did the officer's wife do and say while the savage bus driver's animal like behavior was taking place??? Just asking...
