Don’t sell your people short, two of the greatest players ever, Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax belonged to the tribe, and I’m not talking the Indians.

Yes, unfortunately black participation in baseball has decreased the last few decades to the detriment of the game. The 25 years after Jackie Robinson started playing, baseball enjoyed a true renaissance. Without a doubt the Golden Age.

Mays, a great man from an era when bats were not altered, balls were not live, and juice came in a carton.

The bats were certainly altered, along with the balls. Norm Cash won the ‘61 AL batting title hitting .361 using a bat that was drilled out in the end and filled with sawdust, cork and glue. Using the same bat he hit a paltry.243 the next season.
