The Life & Career of Pumpsie Green

While Jackie Robinson became the first black ball player in the Major Leagues in 1947, Pumpsie Green became the last. Here is his story though his 1960 Topps card. I hope you enjoy.

Nice review of a player not too many of us notice in the vintage collecting circles. Hopefully, that will change with help of videos like yours here. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. I enjoy covering some of these forgotten players and obscure stars. I thought he had a great story to tell as well!

always wondered why the choice of the white sox hat?

I always liked the design of the 1982 White Sox cap. The White Sox have a great history too. I'm pretty sure the team lost the ALCS in 83 by 1 game allowing the Orioles to get in the World Series.
