Yeah, Slick would tell stories about being on the road back in the day. Never bitter or on a soapbox but soooo funny. Such a kind and generous man. Little kids would follow him around. He gave me the revolver he carried on the road. It must have been handed down from player to player. On the holster were dates and scores from long before he was with the team. I tried to donate it to the Negro Baseball Museum but they didn’t think it was an appropriate item for display.
Wow, that revolver sounds amazing. The museum should’ve been honored to have it. Such history of where we once were as a nation to where we are now. Would Slick have been in a wheelchair in the mid 1990s? The gentleman I remember the most from that day was in a wheelchair and hysterical. I think he played catcher.
