Answer 5

I won't presume to name the top 10 baseball players. But I will name two players who should most definitely be included. One is Satchel Page and the other is Josh Gibson. These two members of the ***** Leagues have not received the recognition due them in sports history. African American players were not allowed entrance in the major leagues until baseball's color barrier cracked on April 18, 1946 when Jackie Robinson, signed to the Dodgers organization by owner Branch Rickey. Josh Gibson (Dec. 21, 1911 - Jan. 20, 1947) was ineptly named the ?Babe Ruth of the ***** Leagues. The ***** Leagues did not keep accurate records but Gibson hit 84 home runs in one season and his Baseball Hall of Fame plaque says he hit ?almost 800? home runs in his seventeen-year career. If what historical data says is true, he was the first and possibly only player in history to hit a homerun out of Yankee Stadium.

Satchel Paige (July 7, 1906 - June 8, 1982) excelled as the ***** Leagues' main attraction. His athletic ability, phenomenal durability, and incredible showmanship guaranteed large crowds wherever he pitched for over three decades. Late in his career he played in the major leagues and remained effective into his mid-40s. Stats are sketchy for ***** League competition, but it's safe to say Paige was still near his peak this season. On Jul 21 he intentionally walks two batters to face Josh Gibson in the 9th inning with the bases loaded. Paige tells the 30,000 fans in attendance at Forbes Field that he's going to give Gibson three fastballs. Gibson gets them but can't hit them and strikes out to end the game. Joe DiMaggio called him "the best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced." His frequent successful outings against such barnstorming major leaguers as Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, and Bob Feller helped boost the credibility of black baseball and lent support to those who called him the greatest pitcher of all time.

As World War II came to a close and the demands for social justice swelled throughout the country, many felt that it could not be long until baseball's color barrier would come crashing down. Not only had African-Americans proven themselves on the battlefield and seized an indisputable moral claim to an equal share in American life, the stars of the black baseball had proven their skills in venues like the East-West Classic and countless exhibition games against major league stars. The majority of the exhibition games between the ***** League players and the major leaguers were won by the ***** League Players. The time for integration had come.
