I have an interesting #doubleheader to attend today, the first game will be at @YankeeStadium in the #Bronx where the @Nationals visit the @Yankees. The second will be tonight at @CitiField for the @DBacks at the @Mets. This is what I’m wearing to the first game, a tribute to the #NegroLeagues. It’s a @NewEraCap featuring the 100th Anniversary of the Negro Leagues, a 1944 #HomesteadGrays #CoolPapaBell jersey from @ebbetsvintage and a jacket commemorating the Negro Leagues 100th by @bigboy_headgear. Ah... #BASEBALL! ⚾️@MLB @nlbmuseumkc @baseballhall (at Rockaway, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/COnW1nohgfX/?igshid=qzj4p6dmv56l

Cool Papa Bell was so fast, he could flip the light switch and be in bed before it was dark. Witnessed by Satchel Paige, this is a true story ...☺️😁☺️

⚾️ #cooldaddyo ⚡️ My favorite story about Papa Bell - He could hit a ball right past your ear and by the time you turn to avoid the ball he’s on second base. Rickey before Rickey.

The Negro League was organized in 1937 by J.L Wilkerson, owner of the Kansas City Monarchs, and consisted of the Monarchs, Chicago American Giants, Memphis Red Sox, Atlanta Black Crackers, Birmingham Black Barons, Detroit Stars, St. Louis Stars, Indianapolis Athletics, and Cincinnati Tigers... @factsonfile #books #read #negroleague #baseball #story #stories #hankaaron #satchelpaige @mlb #joshgibson #coolpapabell #halloffame #wilmerfields #legends #ballplayers #history #library #ilovetoread #knowledge

Perhaps the fastest man ever to play the game, James “Cool Papa” Bell was one calm customer. A legend in the Negro Leagues, he was inducted into Cooperstown in 1974. #coolpapabell

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at the @Cardinals #HallofFame at #BuschStadium. There are two teams in #baseball whose museums are so good, they’re leaps and bounds ahead of every other — the Cards are one of them. This is a must visit for any baseball fan. Included here in order: #KeithHernandez’s plaque and memorabilia The museum’s logo #BranchRickey’s 1919 uniform (oldest in their collection) Panoramic photo from the 1926 #WorldSeries and a sweater worn by Ray Blades during the ‘26 season The ball used for the first pitch of the ‘26 Series (the Yanks Herb Pennock threw it to Taylor Douthit who smacked it for a double) Original model of #SportsmansPark Display honoring the great #StanMusial #StLouisStars display with #CoolPapaBell Me holding a #YadierMolina game-used bat. #StLouis ⚾️ 🏆 (at Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChDQgIPPLBW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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

Today, @mlb honors the 100th anniversary of the #NegroLeagues. I’m honored to don a #HomesteadGrays cap crafted by @ebbetsvintage for the occasion. Worn by legends such as #JoshGibson (pictured), #CoolPapaBell, #BuckLeonard, #JudyJohnson, #OscarCharleston and more, the Grays were a powerhouse club based mostly in #Pittsburgh, but also #WashingtonDC simultaneously in the latter years of the franchise. #NegroLeagues100 #CivilRights @nlbmuseumkc @nlbmprez #baseball ⚾️ (at Glen Ridge, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9SePyhLpU/?igshid=1d7hvbs77kx7h
