Black Baseball History Month!... Baseballer Of The Week!...Pumpsie Green!


Our 'Baseballer of the Week'

for this week 

is:

The Big Black Guy, 6-0, 175, a shortstop 

who threw right and batted switch, and was 

the first Big Black Player to sign with the 

Boston Red Socks in 1959, which took 

12 years after Jackie Robinson, and 

was the last team to allow Beautiful, 

Black, and Talented Men to play. 

and he was a standout letterman in track, 

basketball, and baseball in high school,

plus he made a big impact on 

which ever team he played with,

among other notable accomplishments, 

with some highlights here,

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






...Pumpsie Green!






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.
