Extra Innings: Preserving the History of The Negro Leagues 

The speaker in this video is the best ambassador of the Negro League that I've ever seen. He draws me in every time he speaks, gives amazing perspective, and makes me want to find out more about this part of American sports history.

I wish there were hours and hours of Negro League footage that I could watch. I love this stuff!

As long as we seem to be arguing who was the best this or the greatest that, here's a little food for thought...Ichiro Suzuki wasn't allowed to play in the major leagues until he had completed the required 7 seasons of baseball in the Japanese League. He STILL wound up with over 3000 hits and made the greatest outfield throw I ever saw and I saw Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Trout, Jones and everyone in-between. Just to add a little something to the argument...I am posting this on April 19, 2022 and this past weekend, Ichiro threw out the first pitch at a Mariners' game. The pitch registered 94mph on the radar. He wasn't a pitcher. He's almost 50 years old and has been retired for several years. How many others have we not seen and how good were they?

Still waiting for this to return

such an under reported, and important part of American history. how dare anyone deprive anyone else of the rights we are all take for granted, and, it aches to think how many great men (and women) were held back from their lifetime callings.

Playing the roll of Satchel Paige is a big blessing for me

Great video. I hadn't heard that Satchel played for the House of David. That would make for a great movie, maybe one centered on Satchel's life.

My father played for one of the three H of D teams in the 20s and 30s. He talked often about playing and especially about Sachel Paige and how good he was,

Great Video! Sharing!!

RIP headphone users

No doubt Satch & Josh would be record holders had they played their entire career in the Major League's!😉

Why did you guys stop selling the Negro League caps. I brought from you and wear them with pride in the UK, explain what they mean to people over here, Black or white. Its part of all black history not just American Black history.
