Took a quick trip to Kansas City this week. I caught the Royals & Rays at my first trip to Kauffman Stadium and the Negro Leagues Museum. Ate some great barbecue too.

My son is reading a book for school about the Negro Leagues and learning all about the players and the history of their league. So many greats played in the Negro Leagues so I wanted to share a few pieces I have in my collection that I share with my son.

I'm excited to be on board at the newly revamped www.cubanbaseballauctions.com

We are consigning now for a late May auction that ends in early June.

Picked up this faded signed ball with players and coaches on the 1977 White Sox. I’m wondering if it’s a ball from Spring Training because Sam Hairston’s sig (his SABR bio says he coached with the Sox primarily in Spring Training in the 60s and 70s). He, along with Hall of Famers Minnie Miñoso and Larry Doby, are 3 former Negro League players on the ball. And my all-time favorite announcer, Steve Stone, with a sweet playing days sig (I also have his auto from a Cubs convention years ago).

Back from grading and straight to the PC. One of the most important Negro Leaguer cards from the 1940s. Pop 10 card at SGC.
