Apropos for today -- a ticket to the first Negro League (although "Colored" was more frequently used back then for the series name) World Series - 100 Years ago to the day. Hilldale Vs. Kansas City Monarchs.

That's super cool! I have a few PCL game-used lineup cards with former Negro League stars in the lineup.

My only Negro Leagues related piece. One of Jackie's roommates.

"After signing with Rickey in the winter of 1945, he accompanied a black All Star team to Venezuela. The other players saw Rickey talking to Robinson at the airport before they left. but when they asked about the conversation. Robinson told them it pertained to a new black league that Rickey was organizing. Later, when Rickey made the announcement about the true topic of discussion, Robinson was in Venezuela. During the intervening winter, Robinson expressed doubts to roommate Gene Benson about his ability to make it with the Dodgers. Benson reassured him that if he could hit the pitching in the Negro Leagues, he could hit major league pitching."
