That was the great Buck O'Neil that said he heard that sound off of the bat of only three players in his life. The three greats Babe Ruth, Josh Gibson and Bo Jackson.
My grandfather from Pgh (Ed Rakow) grew up watching the Greys in Homestead. Ended up pitching over a decade in the pros
In 1941, ln the Mexican Baseball League, the homeruns record was 17, but Gibson hit 33 that year.
Gibson must have thought he was playing in a home run derby instead of a regular league game!
MLB the show 24 has Josh Gibson in the game and he’s in a 8 episode storyline where you can play throughout his most famous moments,You can also add him and a bunch of other legendary negro league guys into franchise mode and play a whole season with them
Bless you guys for covering the great players of the negro leagues🙏
I like him, with he played in the majors.
It's really hard to tell how the stars of the NL would have done had they played their entire careers in MLB as there is such a small sample of players who made the transition. Of those players like Doby, Robinson ,Irvin, Campanella, the transition was very successful but on the whole its easy to tell the pitching in the NL was far inferior to ML pitching as while they kept their power their BA took a huge hit. Would Gibson hit .400 in the Majors? Probably not. But he would have been a solid .300 hitter with 30 to 40 HRs a year.
I keep posting this but I think it is important in terms of Gibson's legacy and impact; the X-Files has an episode that is a tribute to him, "The Unnatural".
I believe in Josh Gibson.
The great Sachel Paige, Hall of famer pitcher Walter Johnson, and hall of famer Monte Irvin said thatJosh Gibson was the greatest player that they ever seen !! Sachel Paige said he was super human !!
The Greatest Baseball Player Ever.
Ted Williams argued for his inclusion at the his hall of fame speech
😢
Jackie Robinson may not have been the best Negro League player,but as you probably know,baseball wasn't his best sport either.He was selected to bring down the curtain on Jim Crow baseball for a number of reasons ,aside from his immense talent and athleticism.
sounds like the mlb wanted someone good but not “too good”
It is well known that Jackie was picked for his demeanor more than his talent.
The needed someone they knew could take the heckling without getting angry and reacting.b
I have always imagined that he hit like Foxx.
John McGraw saw Josh Gibson playing in Cuba and said if I could paint him white I’d sign him tomorrow
If it bounces over the fence it was a HR
How do you almost forget someone?
And then he built guitars
Let’s not forget Oscar Charleston who’s considered with Gibson the two greatest hitters of the Negro Leagues.
I am not racist, but here's the skinny, MLB letting Gibson's records (which are sketchy at best as Gibson played everywhere) overtake MLB players lifetime states proves that politics rule in todays society as the commission is as liberal as it gets, look what happened to Atlanta All Star Game bullshit, and as far as I'm concern is trying hard to ruin the American pastime.
What’s sad is the fact that during the “barnstorming” part of Baseball in the 30’s and 40’s were white teams playing against the Negro teams. White players respected and enjoyed playing against, which means “with” these players. But asked if they want them in MLB? Almost all said “no”.
America has never been perfect, but it has always “tried” to be.
What black players, indeed, their struggle to be equal period, is a testament to the greatness of our nation, as by the 90’s and early 2000’s race was so far removed from peoples lives that it was just a scratch on American history.
I will let y’all say when it became an issue again.
PS: It rhymes with “dolima”…
'Almost all' didn't say no.
That's a lie. You're pulling stuff out of your keister.
“so far removed from peoples lives that it was a scratch on american history” only a whyte person would say something as clueless as this
How can a player be the best when there are no valid stats for him or footage of him
There is an X-Files episode dedicated to him, "The Unnatural". Maybe that explains why
Sure yes lets celebrate all these great Afro players lets celebrate them for a whole month
Man what he was describing at the beginning sure sounded a lot like systemic r@cism 🤔
He wasnt that good
Yeah, well MLB just integrated its statistics- he was that good.
Another Klansmen comment 😂😂
