I learned about him through his participation in Ken Burns' PBS series.
He experienced some great stories. And he was a great story teller. He was able to use these gifts to bring sunshine on the history of the Negro Leagues.
Not only did he illuminate Buck O'Neil's proper place in baseball history. He brought many diserving players with him.
I hope he's enjoying playing with Babe and Ted and Satchel and Josh and all the guys.
