Did You Know That . . .

Did you know that in
America – our beloved Nation,
there once was a thing
out of place . . .
out of order:
In our great Nation,
there was an unwelcomed,
illegal practice called . . .
“ s e g r e g a t i o n . ”
Sadly so, ’twas how things
in America did’st badly go . . .
because of the awful show
of separating “Citizens”
who’s color of skin was
of a different glow.
BUT THE SPIRIT AND WILL
OF BASEBALL ITSELF
WOULD NOT LET
SEGREGATION GROW!
Remember . . . and
Never Forget . . .
It does not matter what hue of
color a player’s skin may be
in any sport from A – Z.
In every place where there’s
a diamond on the field;
regardless of the
odds, or color of skin . . .
“For The Love of the Game,” “Baseball Players”
Play to Win!
Baseball is a game for
all the colors of
HUMANITY’S FAMILY TREE. Baseball is a
game of
LOVE & UNITY!
