About this listen

Step up to the plate with the Baseball Historian as we kick off our three-part series on the Negro Leagues! In Episode 1, we travel to 1920, when Andrew “Rube” Foster, the “Father of Negro Baseball,” founded the Negro National League in Kansas City, Missouri. Despite segregation’s barriers, African American players created a stage for talent and pride. From the Cuban Giants to the pivotal Paseo YMCA meeting, uncover the origins of a movement that changed baseball forever. #BaseballHistorian #NegroLeagues #RubeFoster #BaseballHistory #BlackHistory
