Does anyone remember..............

the American baseball league known as the Negro League, which existed until the early 1970's? On 12/15/13, at a church Christmas party, I learned that there was such an former athlete in my Sunday School class! He gave me 3 signed baseball cards AND signed a 3x5 for me! Larry "Smitty" Smith was one of the only 3 white players in the Negro League, and I was quite surprised to learn that such a historical individual was in such close proximity(?). The three cards were numbered 1-4000 and signed "Larry "Smitty" Smith. THAT was an interesting night, I'll say. To honor his privacy, I can't give out his address. Sorry, fellows...........

I've heard of the league, Pat but I don't know much about it. What a great result for you to find a close connection with one of the players.

 

Christmas greeting to you from across the pond.
