Since we're talking about the Rickwood Field material — what is up with the font choice for Satchel's name here?

It feels completely off-target, off-message, offensive, infantilizing, the whole nine yards. Who thought that "childish, badly educated handwriting" was the right aesthetic for the Negro Leagues? Satchel certainly did not write that way.

Some will say I am over-reacting. (They are wrong.)
