MLB Pioneer ⭐ Starting Nine With historic Rickwood Field, Birmingham, AL as the backdrop, this is a visual representation of the MLB Pioneer starting 9 from my card collection. All these players got their professional baseball start in the Negro League and made it to the majors. DH is Monte Irvin. My right and left-handed relievers are Don Newcombe and Marshall Bridges, respectively. Gene Baker is the manager. Doing stuff like this is fun for me.

The aim is to create a welcoming, respectful, and engaging place for everyone who values the history and culture of vintage baseball cards and collecting.
