Posted By: <b>Chad</b><p>This is as good a time as any to show off your cards of Negro Leaguers. I'll start with an Acebo Lennie Pearson even tho he's not up for election. He was a hell of a player, tho, and a "close" friend of Effa Manley, one of the potential HOFers. And there's also my avatar, and Aguilitas Alejandro Oms.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1141055594.JPG"> <br /><br />--Chad

Posted By: <b>Chad</b><p>Johnny Britton, who along with Jimmy Newberry was the first African American to be signed by a Japanese professional team. Black ball players had been touring Japan and Asia for decades, but Newberry and Britton were the first to play in the regular professional league.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1141061719.JPG"> <br /><br />--Chad<br /><br />P.S. Matt, how about that Pete Hill? I never get tired of seeing that, How about one last look before it becomes the rarest HOF card on the planet.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Sweet Pete!!<br /><br />I always thoght "Pedro Hill" was another of the Cuban players because of that card...<br /><br />but now I see that his REAL name is Pete and that they only put "Pedro" on the card because he played winter ball in Cuba.<br /><br />Super card -- hope he makes the HOF -- but based on everything I have read...<br /><br />he is the #1 choice.

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>One lock to be in the HOF in about half an hour is our very own Dan "Biz" McKee, although they misspelled his name on this 1924-25 Aguilitas card:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1141064849.JPG"> <br /><br />-Ryan<br /><br />
