That's a pretty cool story. Oh, and shameless plug: if you're ever in KC, The Negro Leagues Hall of Fame is definitely worth a trip.

Thats so wrong, yet so funny.

This just reminds me of "The first black Globetrotter" skit on SNL.

Great thing about being in the Negro Leagues is he didn't have to worry about tipping well.

I was thinking this story was begging to be turned into a movie, and then I get to the bottom of the page and see that it's already in the works. Hopefully it gets an honest treatment an not a typical Hollywood hack-job.
