J.J. Franco: allegedly one of the two top shortstops in the city. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/high_sch ... 2NE6G8Qb7L

Nope, Righty/Righty. I imagine the Gatemen all wear two-flap helmets, and probably share them.

Two words: head lice.

C.J. McElroy carrying on the family tradition. There was a Negro League in 1968?

From what I gather, it must be a typo, because Satchel Paige didn't pitch professionally after 1966. The Clowns continued barnstorming until they disbanded in 1988.

I remember being surprised by that recently too... I want to say that Kevin Burkhardt was interviewing a Negro League vet from the 60s live on TV, and I didn't believe him until I looked it up.

Gramps appears to be wearing a Pittsburgh Crawfords top.

I wouldn't have thought Chuck McElroy had eaten THAT many innings.

Yep, the Major Leagues picked best players out of the Negro Leagues right up into the 1960s. I like to imagine what would have happened if instead expanding in the 1960s if MLB instead invited 2-4 of the best Negro League teams to join the majors. Definitely far too progressive for those times but probably would have been a lot more fair (especially to the black owners, administrators, & scouts of the Negro League teams).
