The story that Kevin recounted above is true. I used to chat on the phone with Mr. Leonard many years ago, and I do believe he even mentioned it during a conversation.

Then I will post in the BST auction. Maybe a real fan can use it.

I just want to give Tony a big, public THANK YOU. When I saw this thread, I PM'd him and asked how much he'd like for it, as my office at work has many photos of negro league players and I'd love to have it in there. Tony asked only that I pay shipping and sent it right out to me. What a stand-up gentleman. It's now framed and hangs next to Larry Doby and Jackie Robinson. Much obliged, sir.

Love to hear stories like this. Well done Tony... a very considerate gesture for a fellow collector!

That's awesome! But also now we want to see pictures of the rest of them!
