Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Buck O'Neil: They are among the baseball legends whose time in the Negro Leagues is being spotlighted in a new and innovative way.
Sony collaborated with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, on the feature. Sony's Ramone Russell spearheaded its development and tells TODAY.com in a statement that the Negro Leagues are “an important part of baseball and Black history, but, most importantly, they are a part of American history.”
Jackie Robinson played for the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro Leagues before making history with the Brooklyn Dodgers.Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the narrator of the videos, tells TODAY.com the video game has already had an impact with a new generation of baseball fans.
"He said he didn't want to interrupt that moment, so he just quietly backed out of the room and left his son to hang out with me and hear the stories. That's what we hoped would happen," Kendrick adds. Kids who play the game are"blown away by the swagger of Satchel," Kendrick says."That persona fits in beautifully in today’s society. They sit there and marvel at the audacity that he would do that, but they also marvel at his ability to actually get it done."
