Jumping off from my previous post … does anyone know of any Negro Leaguers from Panama? I ask because when I was a kid I was a HUGE Rod Carew fan, and I collected just about every card and other memorabilia and ephemera I could get my hands on. I still have the collection today, and I’m hesitant to sell it because it was such a labor of love (and a fair amount of allowance savings), and I feel like I should donate it to a museum or charity or something.
Anyway, it got me to thinking about possible Negro Leaguers from Panama, if anyone knows of any …
Check John Thorn’s blog “Our Game”. He had written about Panama. Also, Leslie Heaphy’s book o. The Negro Leagues has a table on player nationalities.
