The program at UW-Fox Valley by Byron Motley about the Negro Leagues was very good.
Here are a few things I didn't know: In the early 50's the Indianapolis Clowns made regular stops at Goodland Field to play the Papermakers. Satchel Page pitched for the Clowns in some of those games.
Motley's father Bob was an umpire in the Negro Leagues. The father and son collaborated on a book: Ruling over Monarchs, Giants, and Stars. I was running late getting back to work or I would have picked up a copy after the lecture.
Speaking of work, I gotta get going there now.
