I totally agree about how the African American community are not sharing the knowledge of league. The Elderly people that lived through that time period.. tries to cover up the not so good history of that time period.. I feel they have put blinders on to mask the pain and suffering they went through. So, they forgot about the good times and all the history behide it.

The beginning

I have heard so many stories of how wonderful Baseball was back in the day. It really brought families together and also unified the community too. Many people don't know that the league started in Galveston, Texas in 1897. Even though many history books only talk about the teams and leagues in the north and midwest. I feel that we need to hear the real history and be proud of our stamp on this nation.

The league

Many baseball players have experienced the life on the grassy and sandy fields. But how many people have even heard of or experienced the rich history of Negro League Baseball. I would like to know if others have been told about this lost history of this league.
