Black Baseball History Month!... Baseballer Of The Week!...Félix Mantilla!


Our 'Baseballer of the Week'

for this week 

goes to:

The Big Black Guy, 6-0, 160, who was the 

48th Big Black Player to be signed after the 

'Black People's Baseball Blackout' era, and 

he batted and threw right while being an 

exemplary second baseman, initially 

playing for the Braves, and he won the 

World Series and Ring in 1957 and was 

a real All-Star Gamer in 1965, posting 89 

career homers, among his other accomplishments,


and we give flowers and say the name of...





1957 World Series

...Félix Mantilla!






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,

Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.,

is also a College and Pro Baseball enthusiast, 

USC Dental School Graduate,

and elucidator of elatus labialis wingeulus.
