I admit i don't really read about the Negro Leagues. Its amazing that he lived to be 111 ! my god, if i lived to be 111 years old, it would be the year 2097..

It would have been neat to talk baseball to a 111 year old man. He was around to see Cy Young pitch, or as a kid he could have seen Ed Delahanty play ! ( unless blacks were banned from the ball parks i don't know )
