On today's episode of The 27th Inning, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Vice President and Curator Dr. Raymond Doswell joins the show to talk about the history of the Negro Leagues and some of its notable figures — including former players like Josh Gibson and Buck O'Neill, the work of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the recent elevation of several Negro Leagues to major league status.

To commemorate the 101 year anniversary of the Negro National League, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is trying to raise $101,000 to help continue their efforts to expand and preserve the many stories of the Negro Leagues.
