My company does video news stories on great people with awesome attitudes — they don’t get much better than some of the Negro League players who broke barriers in baseball!

You can see a video we did at MLB’s recent symbolic draft of Negro League players, which includes Millito Navarro, Peanut Johnson, Charley Pride and Bill Blair as well as Ken Griffey and Dave Winfield.

I hope you enjoy it!

wow. did i ever think you’d know who Kenny Monday was? Nope. and there are actually a lot of really good african-american amateur wrestlers. Monday’s the patron saint of the movement but it’s a forum for our children to travel the world, and see different cultures.

Yes he was. I’ll reach out.

you know what else I was thinking?

1 more sport that we, as people concerned with the ways of the world, should steer our kids towards to engender the principles of discipline, sacrifice, calm under fire, and proper nutrition: Amateur Wrestling. Very few of the guys who go into that as a sport don’t end up as at the very least good people, and highly educated.

Mizz if you see this… see if you can catch an interview with Kenny Monday. Dude was nasty.

I agree with you there but dude still has to have a 5 home run .400 playoff series. That’s why he makes the big bucks. NY doesn’t need him for marketing purposes because they’re the Yankees.

Step up Arod!

i’m a white sox fan. pitching wins. it always has.

there are plenty of great hitters without rings, but very few great pitchers without them.

Okori you are absolutely right. As a Yankee fan I would like him more to hit more home runs in the clutch. Trust me, I’m not alone when saying that.

He’s expected to lead this team to a championship. Is it fair? Hell no, but he gets paid very well to do so.

well…. he can hit a home run in the 8th and then his team blows the lead in the ninth. what gets said then? that A-Rod choked r that the bullpen wasted a great home run?
