Remembering The Negro Leagues

-David S.-

Sorry to have not posted in a little while.  I’ve been sooooooooo busy with the start of my high school freshman baseball preseason, strength and agility training, school, music lessons, and more.

In honor of Black History Month I found a great video I must share with you.  A very motivated teenager, named Cam Perron has been researching the  history of the Negro Leagues. This video is very interesting and inspiring as he has tracked down old ballplayers from the Negro Leagues and helped them receive some credit, notoriety, and in some cases, financial restitution that they deserved, but were denied.  Many of these players were sadly forgotten.  Learning more about the plight of these players has been eye opening.  We should all be grateful for the contributions made by these  brave athletes to the game of baseball.   It’s amazing to see them finally get some long overdue accolades! Enjoy!
