The exhibit includes information on many black pioneers in baseball history, such as Bud Fowler, Fleet Walker, the Cuban Giants, Rube Foster, Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Buck O’Neil, Frank Robinson and Bob Watson. Their stories are told through a varied collection of artifacts, photos, audio and video.
The exhibit also includes a chronological timeline tracing notable events in both African-American cultural history and black baseball from the 19th century to the present. Original computer interactive displays feature supplemental information and photographs on all 35 current Hall of Fame Negro league inductees, as well as further discussion of many barnstorming and Negro league ballclubs, players and executives.
Some of the notable pieces in the exhibit include: a Dodgers warm-up jacket, glove, and bat used by Jackie Robinson; an autographed baseball from the first East-West All-Star Game in 1933; Cool Papa Bell’s St. Louis Stars jersey, cap and sunglasses; a jersey worn by Negro leaguer Ray Dandridge while playing in Mexico; Buck Leonard’s traveling bag for road trips; the Homestead Grays’ 1940 Negro National League Championship trophy; Satchel Paige’s St. Louis Browns jersey; Frank Robinson’s jersey from his tenure as Montreal Expos manager; and Larry Doby’s Cleveland Indians jersey from 1949.
