Posted By: <b>ty_cobb</b><p>I first saw a tribute day in 2001, Mets (1947 NY Cubans<BR>and Jays (Chatham) and it was educational for me to<BR>say the least, discussing some of the past greats like<BR>like Josh Gibson and other stars of the days. Pittsburg<BR>and KC had a alternate uniform Negro league tribute that day<BR> as well. These types of tributes are long<BR>overdue given the perverse Landis legacy barring <BR>integration for decades after it should have happened.<BR><BR>In the newspaper article of that day, Bobby Valentine<BR>recounts walking into a restaurant in Vero Beach as late as 1969. <BR>The owner refuses to serve Willie Crawford and Von Joshua and<BR> calls the police on Bobby<BR>(who were probably very willing to help in throwing them out).<BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
