Last fall I had a series of Twitter posts, Kevin L.
Mitchell@Lasttraintocoop, listing Negro League Second Basemen. In last week’s blog I listed ten of those
posts. Following are ten more.
Two of them listed were multiple time Negro League All-Stars, three were on Negro League World Series championship teams, and one broke through the color barrier of a Major League team. Each of them exemplified the high quality of talent that played the position during the Negro League baseball era:

play Pittsburgh Pirates, signed 1953, Pirates 1954 – 56, MLB debut 4/13/54,
