  • i dig the series. this player was new to me. when i was very young i had a book about baseball. one of the chapters was about the negro leagues and thats were i learned of the players who never made it to the majors. like Josh Gibson, Dutch Leonard, and Cool Papa Bell. i have always been drawn to these stories from the negro leagues cuz its a classic american tragedy, guys who just played for the love of the game. and those are my fav kind of stories. its cool to know that someone else loves these players too, hopefully theyre are many others.

Best In Show, 2011 Jerry Malloy Negro League Art Contest

16x20 Collage on Canvas. Joe Williams is considered one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. Many debate whether Satchel Paige or Smokey Joe was the best Negro League pitcher ever. Cyclone Joe, as he was also called, was considered a "Sure 30 game winner in the Major Leagues, if allowed to play", by Ty Cobb.
