Negro League Centennial Celebration

MLB remembers the official founding of the Negro Leagues in 1920 today:

The Negro Leagues are getting the kind of recognition they deserve today. All Major League clubs will celebrate the centennial of the founding of the Negro National League — the first structured Negro League that lasted for an extended period — with all players, managers, coaches and umpires wearing a Negro Leagues 100th anniversary logo patch on their uniforms during today’s games. The logo, a derivative of the official logo created by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, also will be featured on base jewels and lineup cards.
