When I went to the @YogiBerraMuseum the other day for the release of the #YogiBerra stamp, I was thrilled to see they had a special exhibit dedicated to the history of the #NegroLeagues. Called “Discover Greatness: An Illustrated History of the Negro Leagues,” the photos date back to the 19th century and feature a stunning historic overview. I spent a lot of time there. Starting with the second photo, here’s some of the players featured: #SatchelPaige #JoshGibson #RoyCampanella 1948 #BirminghamBlackBarons with rookie #WillieMays (arrow pointing to him) Poster Ads for Negro League games 1927 Chicago American Giants Negro League World Champions “Rube” Foster, The Father of Black Baseball 1935 Kansas City Monarchs 1944 Homestead Grays Negro League World Series Champions including #HallofFamers, #JoshGibson, #BuckLeonard and #CoolPapaBell @MLB @BaseballHall @nlbmuseumkc ⚾️ (at Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQlrV2yMlP8/?utm_medium=tumblr
