Thought this was a good place to post this. I would add the Southern Negro League Museum in Birmingham (a few minutes away from Rickwood Field). This is a joint venture of the City and an organization (with a significant collection from an individual). Really well done. Toured it a few weeks ago.
Here are some photos of some items including some really cool one of a kind items including a few great bats (Santop and Mackey). They even have an interactive activity to see some special pitches. Of course, some Satchel Paige items and Willie Mays specific information with a combination of Birmingham historical education.
