Negro leagues museum proposed for Baltimore

The east coast could have it's first Negro Leagues museum, according to a the Baltimore Sun today.
It's interesting that this proposal has been made considering the struggles of the national museum in Kansas City.
While Kansas City is the best place to have the museum, other cities have rich history with the leagues. Pittsburgh was home to the Crawfords and the Grays. Chicago was pretty much where Rube Foster organized the American Giants and the Negro National League.
Baltimore itself has a strong history with the Baltimore Lord Baltimores, Baltimore Giants and so many other teams.
The Baltimore Black Sox boasted the Million Dollar Infield of Boojum Wilson, Ghost Marcelle, Frank Warfield and Sir Richard Lundy.
They were comparable to the dominant infield of the Philadelphia A's at the time.
Wilson is enshrined in Cooperstown.
Warfield supposedly bit off Marcelle's nose. Told you the league was full of good stories.
The history of the Negro Leagues is one that can at times be lost to the fog of the past.
There aren't as many records as you would like. But the stories and the characters are as rich as the other Major Leagues of the time.
There are many great books out there about the leagues and they're well worth the read.
But if you're going to read one, check out Buck O'Neill's "I was right on time."
