Be chosen by you or would somebody else have been chosen just in retrospect . In retrospect somebody else would have probably been chosen. Are you going to tell us who . Here is the reason why i say that. Jackie robinson was chosen during world war ii. The best afterricanamerican Baseball Players were in the war so they werent even here. So maybe he was one of the better players. He was an excellent joychoice w you look back on it. I know he needed someone who was comfortable playing with white players because that was going to be a completely new environment. Jackie had that. Funny thing is willy brown becomes the third player and i mentioned that he left the st. Louis browns and never came pack. One of the reasons was because he wasnt like jackie. I interviewed his wife and she said he did what he all did. He complained. When he got to the browns he complained because he used a 40 ounce bat and his players were playing with 32.

Bell, people remember his name, he got his nickname. He becomes cool papa bell. Turkey got his name because of
Of the game and it wasnt that great of a movie. Even 42, it came out last year, they have one little part in the front that talks about the kansas city monarchs and, you know, you dont see any footage. I think not only the kansas city monarchs, a really good movie could be written about the whole black baseball experience. I think you would need somebody who knew what was going on to write a good movie about it. And i might mention too, when i first started doing research on the negro leagues, going back to the early 80s, ive just seen so many things change. When i first started doing Research People said oh, you wont find photographs. And, of course, after i found 600 of them, actually i found close to always paid his players. Now i have run into players over the years who told me that they are still waiting for third check for a game they played in 1928. But that wasnt the case with wilkinson. And foster as well, kept immaculate records. Players made money playing those teams. Thats
