Our 'Baseballer of the Week'
for this week
goes to:
the Big Black Guy, 6-1, 235 pound catcher,
slugger, and manager who hit for over .300
during his career, regarded as black baseball's
best catcher in the late 1920s and early 1930s,
because he threw plenty of base runners
out, plus he was always among the Black
League's all-time leaders in total bases,
slugging percentage, and runs batted in,
so you know that the MLB
HOF had to welcome
him with open arms 2006, and he had
other great milestones,
so we give flowers and say the name of...
...James Raleigh "Biz" Mackey!
Black Basketball History Month,
celebrated in October each year, was
founded by Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.
in 2025 to acknowledge, praise,
and hold high, with cheer, the untold
numbers of International Black Men
and Women, both past and present,
that made us go, "Wow!...Whoa!...
...and...OMGosh!" in their nonstop,
valiant, and always surprising,
individual and team
efforts to put the ball through the
hoop the most, to win games and
championships!
The Founder of Black Basketball History Month,
Ralph C.Winge, D.D.S.,
and USC Dental School Graduate.
