Description
Black professional baseball originated in the 1880s, and reached an end shortly after Hall of Fame ball-player Jackie Robinson’s entry into the Major Leagues. This moving and informative program celebrates that history, and gives back to great ballplayers, so often overlooked, some of the acclaim that they so deserved. It locates this story into the larger Black and white world of which the Negro Leagues were a part. Selections from Dr. Hogan’s documentary will highlight players speaking about their playing days and their great love for the game.
