I found this documentary on the #NegroLeagues enjoyable and informative.

WLRN Public Television’s latest one - hour documentary Never Drop the Ball takes audiences on an extraordinary journey to show how black baseball players built a brand of baseball out of segregation into a worldwide pastime. Their unwavering love for the game led them to form leagues of their own. These Leagues showcased incredible tea ms like the Miami Giants, later known as the Indianapolis Clowns. Their talent captivated audiences with their dynamic playstyle and teamwork in the United States and internationally. Despite the challenges of the Jim Crow era, black players' dedication to baseball and their barnstorming tours left an enduring mark on the sport's history.
Happy Jackie Robinson Day for those of you, unlike #MLB, are brave enough to acknowledge its purpose and significance. Now play ball & place your 42% parlay with DraftKings!

In today's newsletter I offer a reminder that Major League Baseball does not give a shit about Jackie Robinson's example or his legacy beyond how they can use it to make themselves look good. https://www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffee-april-15-2025/

About a million years ago I asked you this question: #baseball #NegroLeagues
This is very important. Not at all ancient history -- very much in living memory. When he says he could've been killed, it is not an exaggeration. #baseball #baseballhistory #blackhistory #reggiejackson #mlb #negroleagues #williemays
