Ken Griffey Jr. and Ozzie Smith have agreed to manage or coach at the May 25 Hall of Fame East-West Classic. The Negro Leagues East-West All-Star Game began at Chicago's Comiskey Park in September 1933, two months after MLB's first All-Star Game at the same ballpark, and was played annually through 1962. Major League Baseball has recognized seven Negro Leagues from 1920-48 as having big league status, but incorporating those numbers has not yet been completed. “As a kid growing up, I thought Negro League baseball was backyard, barnstorming baseball. “That was the first time I really, really, really thought about it, and I was like, damn, I really want to be in the Hall of Fame.

Sam Pollard’s documentary “The League” introduces audiences to the teams, stars and little-known figures who populated the Negro leagues by chronicling how Black professional baseball first sprouted. It covers the period from just before the majors instituted a gentlemen’s agreement banning African Americans from playing with white players, to the Negro leagues becoming one of America’s biggest Black-owned businesses, to its demise. In an audio interview, Pollard spoke about how he set about constructing his film, and the ways he connected the Negro leagues to the Civil Rights movement. Where did you find the archival Negro league interviews? Byron also interviewed, through his dad, former Negro league players on video.

Two other teams, the New York Black Yankees and the New York Cubans, called the stadium home as well.
