  • William Bell
    Forgotten Heroes: William Bell by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel and Luis Munoz Copyright 2014 Kansas City Monarchs (1924) Negro National League and Negro League World Series Champions ((Lemuel Hawkins, William Bell, Clifford Bell, Carroll “Dink” Mothel, Frank Duncan (Sr.), William “Plunk” Drake, George Sweatt and Homer “Hop” Bartlett) (Jack Marshall, Hurley McNair, Newt Joseph, Harold “Yellowhorse” Morris, Oscar “Heavy” Johnson, Newt Allen, Wilber “Bullet” Rogan, Jose Mendez and Walter “Dobie” Moore) William Bell, Sr. was born on August 31, 1897 in Lavaca County, Texas. He stood 5’ 11” tall and weighed 180 pounds during his playing career. Bell was a right-handed pitcher who was one of the best pitchers in Negro League baseball during the 1920’s. On the mound he was known for his consistency, excellent control and ability to paint the corners. William had command of a wide range of pitches. He had an active fastball that moved in on the hitter, a very good curve ball, a good change-up and slider. During the 1920’s he was a workhorse for the Kansas City Monarchs during their championship seasons. Bell was also known for completing what he started during his career. Our research has revealed that he completed over 75 % of the games he started. In addition William Bell had a reputation for always being able to deliver in the clutch and under pressure. During his career he was occasionally called on to play in the outfield because he was a decent hitter and very good fielder. He had his best two years at the plate in 1929 when he hit .296 and 1932 when he batted .295.

  • One of Baseball's Greatest Catchers
    Excerpt • Temple University Press 1 ◆ ◆ ◆ One of Baseball’s Greatest Catchers f all the positions on a baseball diamond, none is more demanding or harder to play than catcher. The job behind the plate is without question the most difficult to perform, Oand those who excel at it rank among the toughest players in the game. To catch effectively, one has to be a good fielder, have a good throwing arm, be able to call the right pitches, be a good psy- chologist when it comes to dealing with pitchers, know how to engage tactfully with umpires, how to stave off injuries, and have the fortitude to block the plate and to stand in front of speeding or sliding runners and risk serious injury. Catching is not a position for the dumb or the lazy or the faint-hearted. To wear the mask and glove, players have to be smart. They have to be tough, fearless, and strong. They must be alert, agile, and accountable. They are the ones in charge of their teams when on the field, and they have to be able to handle that job skillfully. Excerpt • Temple University Press BIZ MACKEY, A GIANT BEHIND THE PLATE There are many other qualities required of a good catcher that, put together, determine whether or not players can satisfac- torily occupy the position. If they can’t, they will not be behind the plate for long. Rare is the good team that ever took the field without a good catcher. And yet, while baseball has been richly endowed with tal- ented backstops, only a few have ever made it to the top of their profession.

  • Baseball in the Shadows from Its Beginnings to Its End
    Baseball in the shadows from its beginnings to its end. Written by Rochel Garner Coleman and Mark Pierce Performed by Rochel Garner Coleman Funding provided by the Dodgers Organization & The Music Center of Los Angeles THE PROGRAM Shadowball is a one man show about Negro Leagues Baseball. Between World War I and II, Americans were adrift in the pain of the Great Depression. Rochel Coleman recreates the life and times of James Thomas “Cool Papa” Bell and the men of the Negro Leagues who strived to overcome perception and economics. Dressed in the uniforms of the times, a changing America comes to life through the journeys of a baseball player on the road. The focus of Mr. Coleman’s program is the recreation of a historical character in his pursuit of freedom. Jim Crow segregation’s growing rule coupled with economic hardship lead most of America to tighten it’s belt. Jobs that had been previously available for blacks were few and far between. Battling these odds, possessing little else than a love for the game and some skills, the young men of the Negro Leagues strived to become a part of America’s game. ABOUT ROCHEL GARNER COLEMAN III Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Rochel started singing professionally at the age of nine. With the Men and Boy’s Choir of Christ Church Cathedral and then with the Berkshire Boy’s Choir, he distinguished himself as a soloist, performing with Pablo Cassals, King’s College Choir, and the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood. Opening the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Leonard Bernstein’s Mass, he had his first taste of acting.

Name: ____________________________________________________ Date:_________________ Baseball History: The Negro League Today, African American players are among the biggest stars in major league baseball. But less than 70 years ago, African Americans were not allowed to play major league baseball with white players in the United States because of racial segregation. The major leagues were reserved for whites only. African Americans organized their own all-black teams during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, playing each other and also against teams of white all-stars. Beginning in 1920, several black teams organized into the first Negro league. Negro league baseball lasted until about 1950. During their existence, the leagues featured some of the greatest players in baseball history. Let’s learn some basic history about the Negro leagues.
