Hey, it's Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City,

and I'm excited to announce that Black Diamonds returns August 5th with all new stories of the Negro Leagues.

This is what's great about visiting with you is that you teach history.

You learn all about the black greats that we didn't hear much about.

I'll tell you who really was the last great two-way star in baseball.

And no, it wasn't Bayroux.

I'll tell you how and why the triumph of integration came at a cost to the black community.

Integration is bankrupt the black folk. Integration is bankrupted the black folk.

I don't care how you cut the pie.

I'm not a minority.

I let everybody know I'm not a freaking minority.

And my owners know that I'm a black man.

And he wanted to know why.

It's because I worked so hard to get where I got it to make me

minority, I'm lost in the smoke again. But I can always shine as a black man.

I'll tell you why for over 50 years, the Indianapolis clowns were the best show in town.

Boy, if you wanted to see the world, you join the Indianapolis clowns and went everywhere

with the clown.

How Ernie Banks went from Monarch to Mr. Cubb.

I think I got a hit and Jackie came over and he said, hey, you can play Major League

Baseball.

That's it!
