This week we take a look at one of baseball's most exclusive fraternity; The Black Aces.

This was the brainchild of former MLB pitcher Mudcat Grant, who had the vision of recognizing the rarest of all baseball breeds the African-American pitcher.

To qualify for induction into this group, you have to be an African-American pitcher, who has 20 or more wins in a season'

There are currently 15 members in the Black Aces. It is both a celebration of the journey of the black pitcher, after Jackie smashed the "gentlemen's agreement", as well as designed to provoke thought.

I also give you three current pitchers in the Majors right now, who may be on the doorstep of joining this amazing group of men.
