Philadelphia – Ryan Howard was a disguised with Philadelphia Phillis when he met the baseball with his mushyat home run while meeting black ball players’ champion Buck O’Nell during his eight decades of career.
Howard was introduced to O’Neill as the modern -day Josh Gibson, he was one of the best players in the Negro League who hit .466 for the 1943 Homested Grace. Howard, who hit at least 45 Homer in his career four times, was very embarrassed to accept the comparison.
“Mr. O’Neill was like that,” Did you get that power? “I said, ‘Yes sir, I do,’” said Howard. “He told me, ‘Don’t be ashamed of it. Leave it.’ It was great, just listening to stories and just being in his presence.
O’Neill, who died in 2006, was a long -time champion of the Negro Ligous Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. Howard, who won a World Series with NL MVP and Paleis, was ready to accept O’Neill because of the push to help the ex -Slaga Museum expansion project.
The Negro Legs Baseball Museum is raising a new 30,000 square feet of foot facility and funding for campus, which aims to move the museum to the rich history of the Negro Legs baseball and to advance the mission to preserve its impact on social progress in the United States.
Howard and San Diego Padress Manager Mike Shield on Thursday announced their plan to bring Negro Leighs more awareness to the Nigro League’s legacy with the expansion of a museum to join “the future pitch”.
President of the Negro Legs Baseball Museum, Bob Kendrick, said he would hopefully get Million 30 million to finish the project.
“This is a huge index of the development of his museum and we have created the subject of our museum and set our need for growth at all levels of our operation,” said Bandrick. “It is a byproduct of growth.”
The interest in the Negro leagues has spread to the larger part due to the inclusion in the MLB show and when the records of more than 2,5 players were included in Major League Baseball Statistics. A small, one-room office-established museum, which attracts around 000,6 visitors every year, is also the big Liguer who stops the road while traveling by -18th and Vine A.
Kendrick said that the present place was “not designed to handle a lot of crowds at any time.”
“Kansas City will host the World Cup next year in a perfect world,” central said, “And we would like to follow the World Cup strength and excitement with a great opening of the Negro Legs Museum in 2027. It may be somewhat ambitious but it should be done.”
Howard visited the museum long ago before becoming one of the most frightening slogars of the National League.
Howard said, “I had a way of paying homage to the Negro Legs and the former Negro league players that didn’t get a chance to play in the big leagues,” Howard said.
Howard was always hit by the legendary field-the first Negro Ligaurs, which were included in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown in New York, deepened the depth of the burden that players had taken to reach the hall.
Howard said, “I think the story continues, it is important to save it.” “You understand the history of the black baseball and how it is based on the baseball, and the Major League Baseball.”
In its latest survey in Central Florida, the Institute for Diversity and Ethics Institute found that Black players represented only .2.2% of players in the MLB Opening Day ROster in 2021, for the first time after the first time after the first year, Jackie Robinson’s main league-based Basbal Bhagarba Bharter or Hussear Bharter. Black is not in the players.
Darrill Strawberry, a former New York Mets Slagger, says the game needs to be concentrated on developing and marketing internal cities for the percentage of black players on the weekend.
Howard said that black youths have had a problem for a long time to connect to the baseball.
Howard said, “It’s hard, trying to help the topics depict.” “I think more young black kids are starting to come back to the baseball now. You have to be able to turn on the TV and see someone who looks like you.”
Howard was raised in Missouri and mentioned Black former St. Cardinals star such as Willie McGi, Vince Coleman and Terry Pendelton that helped to burn his interest in the game. Howard and fellow NL MVP Jimmy Rollins Filge had two black stars and fan favorites when they won their last World Series in 20 years.
Shieldt was a frequent visitor of the museum when he operated St. Louis Cardinal and the optimistic expansion to educate the new generation of fans.
“There is a big story to say,” Shieldt said. “What happened to what happened has been more grassroots based th
