  • Summary

  • Every once in a while, I am invited to speak to a civic group or in a school classroom about Sulphur Dell and Nashville’s excellent baseball history, including Negro Leagues baseball.

    When my friends at the Nashville Stars office allowed me an opportunity to speak to kids, I immediately said, “Yes!”

    Two fourth-grade teachers, Ms. Plemon and Mr. Field at King’s Academy taught their students about Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, one of only three women to play in the Negro Leagues, and the kids wanted to learn more about the Negro Leagues.

    I was honored to spend part of a morning with them, as I was the one who was taught by those great youngsters.In this episode, I read some letters I received a week or so later. I was overjoyed to have received them, and grateful!
