Listen Later

A teammate of Willie Mays on the 1948 Birmingham Black Barons, 96-year-old Greason talks with John Shea on this episode of the Giants Splash podcast that we're sharing with A's Plus listeners. Greason, who fought in Iwo Jima and was the St. Louis Cardinals' first Black pitcher, talks about his life and about MLB reclassifying the Negro Leagues as "major league." | A’s Plus Newsletter: sfchronicle.com/asnewsletter | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
