Our 'Baseballer of the Week'
for this week
goes to:
The Big Black Guy, 6-2, 220, a right-handed
batter and thrower, who was the 20th Big
Black Man to contract with MLB teams after
the "No Blacks Wanted' era, and was a
pitcher with at least eight Pro MLB teams
over the years, with some international play,
who who started out in the Black Leagues
and toured with Satchel Paige, and teamed
with Quincy Trouppe to become the first
Beautiful Black pitcher-catcher (battery)
duo (they played together in the Black Leagues),
and he was a 2x All-Star Gamer, a NL season
wins leader, a 3x strike out leader, an NL
ERA leader, and was the first Big Black
pitcher to flame throw a no hitter (4-0) on
May 12, 1955, where, in the 9th inning
he walked three to load the bases, then
proceeded to strike out three straight to
end the game, plus he had a sweeping curve
ball that befuddled and outted many a player,
along with other accomplishments,
and we give flowers and say the name of...
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 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,
