Our Inaugural 'Baseballer of the Week'
for this week
goes to:
the Big Black Guy, 5-7.5, 155, who was a
star player, batting at least .344 in 1886 with
the Meriden Silvermen, and was one of five
Big Black and Beautiful Men who played
before the bigoted white owners and
teammates barred All Black players in 1933,
but he persevered and was a standout player
in the Negro Leagues, but in 2006, ownership's
fault was admitted and he was let in the
front door of the MLB Hall of Fame,
and so much more...
...Frank Grant!
Black Baseball History Month was
founded by Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.
in 2025 to commemorate, place value,
and get to know, our Heroes, while
standing and cheering, 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 C.Winge, D.D.S.,
USC Dental School Graduate,
and elucidator of elatus labialis wingeulus.
