The Negro Leagues should never have had to exist, but it's good that they did. MLB is honoring them. They formed 100 years ago this year.

I would like to go back in time to watch a some Negro League games in person.

My understanding is the way they played the game was fast and with aggressive base running. It must have been something!!!

Satchel Paige..

Nobody ever knew how old he was when he started in the Majors. But he would have been one of the greats, just for who he was.

“Age is a matter of mind. If you dont mind, it dont matter.”

So the MLB is proud of their SEGREGATION, their virtual enslavement of blacks, in a league that paid starvation wages.

Are they also happy when cops kill black children?
