Another amazing WWII return from 101 year old Louis Graziano, who was 3rd wave at Normandy, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and was present when the surrender was signed in 1945!

An awesome past week saw great successes from the last 2 living Negro Leagues players from the classic era (1920-1948), now recognized in official stats as part of MLB record keeping!

Rev. Bill Greason will turn 100 next month, and he signed this great photo. He played 1948-51 for the Birmingham Black Barons, and is also a WWII vet, serving on Iwo Jima with the Montford Point Marines!


Ron Teasley is the other living legend, playing for the NY Cubans in 1948, following service in the Pacific Theatre of operations during WWII. He also had a brief stint in the Brooklyn Dodgers farm system!
