Anyone who saw the Ken Burn's 9 Innings Special ( actually 9 episodes) realizes that this gentleman belongs in Cooperstown. I was absolutely impressed with this gentleman and could have listened to him tell stories as long as he could remember them. I was absolutely enthralled with his story telling about his playing days and if I had anything to say about it, this gentleman's stories alone would be in Cooperstown where every true baseball fan could enjoy him for generations to come! I will say one more thing then get down off my soapbox, but he along with many more black players should have been in Cooperstown long before now!
