great to see former Negtro League players drafted by MLB

glad to see the major leagues acknowledging past Negro league Legends being drafted and acknowledged. former Major League SuperStar and Hall of famer Dave Winfield had a big hand in pushing for this moment to happen. there is a whole history of Great players that played in the Negro league that never got there chance to participate in the Najor leagues because of the racist ways and the segregation. it wasn't until 1947 when Jackie Robinson and Larry Dolby Broke the color line within a month of one another. so many historic players who are still alive have so many Great storys to tell. RIP to Buck O'Neil and Satchel Page. so many Great players who have never gotten there due.
