    Heartbroken by the news of the death of Chadwick Boseman! I had the honor of taking Chadwick & Harrison Ford on a tour of the NLBM in 2013, the day that the blockbuster film, “42,” was released! He proudly brought Jackie Robinson to life! @Royals @MLB @MLB_Players @JPosnanski RT

    IN A LEAGUE OF HER OWN: A heavenly “thank you” to the late Penny Marshall, who willed her Negro Leagues collection to the NLBM. We shared contents of her gift today as part of our commemoration of the 101st Anniversary of the birth of the Negro Leagues! @Royals @MLB @mellinger RT

    Saddened by the passing of our friend, Rickey Henderson, the greatest leadoff hitter in @MLB history! Was proud to induct him into our Hall of Game in 2015 along with Fergie Jenkins, Ozzie Smith and the late Luis Tiant. Condolences to his family, friends and legion of fans!

    For baseball fans of a certain era, all you had to do was say the name WILLIE MAYS, and it elicited unbridled joy! My heart is heavy with his death, but we owe it to him to celebrate his life with the same zest and zeal that he brought to the game! His spirit and legacy plays on!
