⚾️ #jg20mvp #projectgibson Judy was a baseball lifer. He had an eye for hitting baseballs (.416 in ‘29) and finding talent. Judy discovered Josh Gibson. He later told the @braves to check out a kid named Hank. 🪄 2001 Topps Chrome What Could Have Been N°WCB7 William Judy Johnson #pittsburghcrawfords . . . . ✅Be sure to swing by @nlbmart to join the campaign to rename the MVP award To The Josh Gibson MVP award and vote for your favorite Custom Made Josh Gibson Card this week! . . . . . . . . . . . . #baseball #baseballcards #sportscards #whodoyoucollect #photooftheday #pittsburgh #tradingcards #nofilter #georgia #thehobby #negroleagues #hankaaron #whodoyoucollect #mvpaward #joshgibson #judyjohnson #joshgibsonfoundation #blm #crawfords #mccards #mlb #whatcouldhavebeen #topps #hof #halloffamer #allstar #bwaa #nlbm @topps @mlb @baseballhall @joshgibsonfoundation @nlbmuseumkc (at Havana, Cuba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQfLcqBMxhs/?utm_medium=tumblr

#gusgreenlee #pittsburgh #boss #negroleague #pittsburghcrawfords William Augustus Gus Greenlee, not only was he an esteemed influential businessman in Pittsburgh, but he controlled the numbers game there from the 1920s-40s. As the Mafia and other gangs tried to move in there, they never took control from him or his partner. Nor did they kill either of them. Gus is known for his contribution to the Negro League being as though he owned the Pittsburgh Crawfords. He was known for helping his brothers and sisters as he considered them with scholarships for school and grants to buy homes. Being as though white-controlled financial institutions kept black folks out, men like Greenlee picked up the slack. He was another that was never a flunky for the Italian mafia or any other as Hollywood movies and TV has always tried to portray black gangsters. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkMkGxh8S4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qoiw2e2kojp6
