A group of Dodgers got a private tour from NLBM president Bob Kendrick in conjunction with the Royals’ ‘Salute to Negro Leagues Night.’
KANSAS CITY – It was a one-hour history lesson delivered by a master lecturer.
For Kershaw, it was his first visit. David Price, on the other hand, estimates he has been to the museum “probably 10 times” starting with a 2005 visit with Team USA. After his 2012 AL Cy Young Award, Price joined the group of “Black Aces” – black pitchers who have won 20 games in a major-league season – honored at the Negro Leagues museum.
The visit was set up in conjunction with the Royals’ annual ‘Salute to the Negro Leagues’ night. This year, it included the arrival of Buck O’Neill’s Hall of Fame plaque at Kauffman Stadium. The Dodgers wore their Brooklyn uniforms from the 1955 team while the Royals wore the Kansas City Monarchs circa 1945.
“I think the biggest takeaway was the history of Major League Baseball almost starts with the Negro Leagues in some aspects. They were there long before integration. … The other thing I took away is a lot of the history isn’t talked about. I thought that was sad but I also thought this is really cool that this is here and you get a chance to learn about it.”
