I have an interesting #doubleheader to attend today, the first game will be at @YankeeStadium in the #Bronx where the @Nationals visit the @Yankees. The second will be tonight at @CitiField for the @DBacks at the @Mets. This is what I’m wearing to the first game, a tribute to the #NegroLeagues. It’s a @NewEraCap featuring the 100th Anniversary of the Negro Leagues, a 1944 #HomesteadGrays #CoolPapaBell jersey from @ebbetsvintage and a jacket commemorating the Negro Leagues 100th by @bigboy_headgear. Ah... #BASEBALL! ⚾️@MLB @nlbmuseumkc @baseballhall (at Rockaway, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/COnW1nohgfX/?igshid=qzj4p6dmv56l

Cool Papa Bell was so fast, he could flip the light switch and be in bed before it was dark. Witnessed by Satchel Paige, this is a true story ...☺️😁☺️
Today, @mlb honors the 100th anniversary of the #NegroLeagues. I’m honored to don a #HomesteadGrays cap crafted by @ebbetsvintage for the occasion. Worn by legends such as #JoshGibson (pictured), #CoolPapaBell, #BuckLeonard, #JudyJohnson, #OscarCharleston and more, the Grays were a powerhouse club based mostly in #Pittsburgh, but also #WashingtonDC simultaneously in the latter years of the franchise. #NegroLeagues100 #CivilRights @nlbmuseumkc @nlbmprez #baseball ⚾️ (at Glen Ridge, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9SePyhLpU/?igshid=1d7hvbs77kx7h
Perhaps the fastest man ever to play the game, James “Cool Papa” Bell was one calm customer. A legend in the Negro Leagues, he was inducted into Cooperstown in 1974. #coolpapabell
