Bill Dixon, you've got the number one draft pick of Kansas City Monarch great pitch

and you've got the choice of John Donaldson, Bullet Rogan, or Satchel Page, who do you take and why?

Bullet Rogan. No question about it. He's going to hit more than Donaldson? Certainly more than Page.

Yeah, Satchel got a hit, he's going to tell you about it. John Donaldson may have been more talented.

Satchel Page was clearly the biggest star.

But this player did things that neither one of them could have ever dreamt of.

This is the story of the Negro League's first great two-way star, Wilbur Bullet Rogan.

Being in Denver for the 2021 All-Star game was really special.

Number one, we didn't get this opportunity in 2020 because of the pandemic.

But also 2021 was special because of a young man named Shohi Atani.

Shohi put on a show, literally. And the phenomena that has become Shohia Tani has opened up the opportunity

for me and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to talk extensively about the great two-way stars

of the Negro Leagues, the likes of Ted Double Duty Radcliffe.

Two-way star, Double Duty Radcliffe with journalist Stephen Banker.

I was with the Homestead Grays in 1931, and we played the Lincoln Giants in the Yankee Stadium for the championship.

Shatcha pitched the first game and wanted to not called him in the first game and I

pitched a second game.

Sachs up one four to nothing, I won three to nothing.

And so Damon Runyon, the old sport rider, gave me that name that had wasted a price

admission of two, the CW directive in action.

That's how I got the name.

Here at the Negro League's Baseball Museum, we have a bronze statue of a guy who stands about five, eight, and he's in right field.
