Black Baseball History Month!...Baseballer Of The Week!...Josh Gibson!

   

Our 'Baseballer of the Week'

for this week 

goes to: 

the Big Black Guy, 6-1, 220, who has the 

highest career batting average, .372 , and 

hit 'almost' 800 home runs,  and he had the 

highest single season batting average, .466 

in 1943,  and he has the highest-ever single 

season slugging percentage, .974 in 1937, 

and he had the best season slugging 

percentage for six years, plus the 

highest-ever career ops (On-Base 

Plus Slugging) at 1.177, and the highest 

single-season OPS at 1.474, and the 

MLB Hall of Fame was forced to admit 

him in 1972, and I wish they had 

video at the time, plus he won the Negro 

League World Series Twice,

and so much more...  

with Satchel Paige

Black Baseball History Month was 

founded by Ralph Winge, D.D.S. 

in 2025 to commemorate, place value, 

and get to know, our Heroes, while 

standing and cheering for, the many 

International Black Men who 'Shocked 

and Awed' us with too many to count, 

fantastic and unexpected physical 

heroics at the Ballpark, in exciting 

efforts for their teams to cross home 

plate more than their opponents to win.

The Founder of Black Baseball History Month,

Ralph Winge, D.D.S.,

is also a College and Pro Baseball enthusiast,
