Not meaning to be rude but for us who aren't familiar with him could someone provide a bio or something..

 

I just know that he was a Negro League great. He got the nickname "Double Duty" when he caught Satchel Paige in the first game of a double-header and then pitched the second game.

My prayors go out to his family.  It's a shame.

 

Its not a shame...the guy lived a great life...103 years...how is that a shame?

 

When my gramps died at 93...we said we were celebrating 93 years of a great life. We all could be so lucky!

it's a shame that he died. He meant a lot to baseball and the real shame is that he could never play Major League Baseball because of the Color of his skin. That's the shame of it.

His treatment, as well as other blacks in this country, is certainly a shame. I read today his brother lived to 108....wow.
