Journey Through Jerseys Ep. 14

This episode goes into the story of a Negro League player from Buena Vista, GA who had all the skills to make into the MLB. He was most known for playing on the Homestead Grays and the Pittsburgh Crawfords. He was said to have scored as many as 800 Home Runs or more and, before Jackie Robinson, was seen as the player who could integrate Baseball. But racism and a tragic death derailed his chances. Learn all about "the Black Babe Ruth", Josh Gibson.
