'MLB The Show 23,' from the popular video game franchise, to honor Negro leagues' rich history, including Jackie Robinson.
Named “The Negro Leagues: Season One,” the storyline will provide an inside look at key players throughout history. The inaugural season will feature Robinson, Leroy “Satchel” Paige, Andrew “Rube” Foster, Hilton Smith, Hank Thompson, John Donaldson, Martín Dihigo and John Jordan “Buck” O’Neil.
The Negro National League was born to give opportunities to Black baseball players. Due to the MLB restricting Black players from joining, the teams had to travel across the country to play in front of fans. The Leagues featured many unheralded superstars. The list includes Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Minnie Miñoso, Walter C. “Steel Arm” Davis, Willie Wells, Jud Wilson and Don Newcombe. Toni Stone Mamie “Peanut” Johnson and Connie Morgan — three women who played in the Negro leagues — also made a significant impact.
