Welcome to Rates and barrels.

It is Thursday, May 30th.

Derekman Riper, Eno Sernis here with you on this episode.

going to talk about this more in detail next week, but I think we're at this really cool crossroads

project. And this has been two decades in the making, trying to put together official records

and kind of capture some of the lost pieces of baseball history.

And I think if you stay away from the comment sections under these pieces and just read the pieces themselves and find the perspectives from families of players that played in the Negro leagues.

Find perspective from black writers.
