Bob Kendrick carries the torch in telling baseball’s complete story at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. ⚾️
As president of the Negro Leagues Museum (@nlbmuseumkc), Kendrick (@nlbmprez) forged a new chapter that has led to Major League Baseball formally recognizing the feats, statistics and accomplishments of black ballplayers.
“The majority of us went through our own formal educations without knowing one of the most significant chapters, not just in baseball history but in American history and that is the history of the Negro Leagues,” Kendrick said.
Without this museum and the proper acknowledgment, the history of baseball is incomplete. And without Kendrick, there’s a chance the baseball world wouldn’t have arrived at this reckoning point.
“I don’t think this museum would be on the same level or footing it is today had (Kendrick) not come back when he did,” said the museum’s event coordinator.
