Negro Leagues Baseball Museum

Where history touches home. The world’s only national museum dedicated to preserving the rich history of black baseball and its profound impact on America!

[Negro Leagues Baseball Museum @NLBMuseumKC]

It’s impossible to tell the story of @MLB’s integration without Kansas City and the Negro Leagues.

Jackie broke the color barrier with the @Dodgers on April 15, 1947.

His life, legacy, and his impact on America is profound.

Just a quick "Thank you!" To @nlbmprez for continuing the legacy of Buck O'Neil and the expansion of educating us about baseball and American history. Go visit the @NLBMuseumKC . The @Royals are paying this month so go get some neat collectibles from thr gift shop.

@AugieNash @NLBMuseumKC It's great to see in person. Buck O'Neil connected Lou Brock with Cool Papa Bell when he was traded to St. Louis. Thanks for sharing so much of St. Louis baseball history. ⚾️

[Augie Nash @AugieNash]

@foxrun82 @NLBMuseumKC Buck actually scouted Brock and Banks for the Cubs and convinced them to them.

@nlbmprez @NLBMuseumKC @Marriott @MLBNetworkRadio @Royals @sn_mlb @MLBPA @QuintonLucasKC @JacksonCountyMO @PlayersAlliance @MLBNetwork @SBJ @usatodaysports @baseballhall @MiLB @JPosnanski @MLBONFOX That looks outstanding and befitting such a great cause. Life affirming to visit the current one few yrs back and can't wait to make the pilgrimage back to KC to see this one once it's done! 👏🏾⚾️✊🏾

[Fox @foxrun82]

@AugieNash @NLBMuseumKC When Brock didn't get the playing time he convinced the Cubs to trade him to the Cardinals to play how he knew he could. Lou was appreciative of Buck for many reasons.
