for this week
goes to:
The Big Black Guy, 5-10, 160 pound first
and second baseman, who is considered by
many as 'the best Baseball player never to
play in the MLB in the U. S.,' and he threw
and batted right, plus he batted .472 in
1943, but for some reason, the record
was given to Josh Gibson with his .466 average,
and he was a 3x Negro League All-Star Gamer,
plus he was so fast on his feet that his
nickname was 'the Dominican Deer,' and
at one time, he established a Negro league
record by hitting home runs in seven consecutive
at bats when he played for the Cuban House
of David in 1931 during tournament play in
Iowa and Nebraska, and all in all he played
27 seasons in five different countries,
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 C. Winge, D.D.S.,
and elucidator of elatus labialis wingeulus.
