In the late 19th century, the baseball color line developed in professional baseball, excluding African Americans from league play, prompting the creation of the Negro Leagues in 1920. “More Than a Game” chronicles some of the many ground-breaking stories and heroic characters from this spectacular segment in American baseball history. Shot on location at the The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a privately funded museum dedicated to preserving the history of Negro League baseball in America. It was founded in 1990 in Kansas City, Missouri, in the historic 18th & Vine District, the hub of African-American cultural activity in Kansas City during the first half of the 20th century.

“More Than a Game” was awarded a Telly Award for Excellence in 2017.

I have never been to Cooperstown, but I have been to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. My father had told me that he had enjoyed Negro League baseball more than watching Major League baseball. I'm just glad I grew up when I did and got to see Willie Mays, Bob Gibson, and all the great black ballplayers who played in the fifties and sixties.

Buck has since been inducted into the to the Hall, but the fact that it took so long is terrible. There has been no better ambassador of the game of baseball than Buck O’Neil. Maybe no better man, period.

I've always wanted to visit the Negro Baseball HOF in Kansas City. Unfortunately every time I drive by they have been closed. Hopefully I can make it there before I die.

Did u know that the owner of the b.n.y.y. was the late bill bojangles robinson? A great tap dancer & businessman behind the scenes.

[8:43] ".... nearly court martialed from the US Army..." is not really correct. In the incident referred to (where US Army busses had been recently de-segregated - in theory, at least), Robinson sat next to a white woman (who was the wife of a white officer friend of his, and the couple both personally knew Jackie quite well). But this was a bit much for the bus driver, who kicked up an awful fuss. It didn't get Jackie court martialed, but it _did_ de-rail his chances of becoming an army officer. Not sure why that is, but.......

You seem to be well informed; however, what did the officer's wife do and say while the savage bus driver's animal like behavior was taking place??? Just asking...
