You still can my friend: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.kansascity.com/sports/mlb/article30521898.html Buck, Satchel, Hilton, Willard, Jackie, Ernie, Cool Papa Bell. What an amazing team the Monarchs were. Satchel is the forever GOAT. How many pitches did he have? Dozens. The ‘Bat dodger’ the ‘Bee ball’ the ‘Midnight Creeper’, names first all of them. When he pitched in Municipal Stadium the tales say he would call out the pitch before he threw it, he knew it couldn’t be hit. Was a “rookie” in the MLB at 42, and smoked them to give Cleve a championship. Buck always told Satchels story about Cool Papa, when they were out barnstorming, Cool Papa would hit the light switch and be in bed before the lights would turn off. If you are ever in KC and don’t spend 2+ hours at the negro league HoF talking to Bob Kendricks then I don’t know what purpose you serve on this earth.
I put on the Ken Burns Jazz documentary series as a joke and now I can't turn it off because I fear missing an interesting fact about Louie Armstrong
Just mesmerized by Kens Burns docs lately. Absolutely loved The War. Just so special he got all these guys interviews on film before they passed. I just started Vietnam.
New documentary drops on the 18th. It's about the US response to the Holocaust prior to the US entering WW2 The U.S. and the Holocaust is a three-part, six hour series that examines America’s response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the twentieth century. Americans consider themselves a “nation of immigrants,” but as the catastrophe of the Holocaust unfolded in Europe, the United States proved unwilling to open its doors to more than a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of desperate people seeking refuge. Through riveting firsthand testimony of witnesses and survivors who as children endured persecution, violence and flight as their families tried to escape Hitler, this series delves deeply into the tragic human consequences of public indifference, bureaucratic red tape and restrictive quota laws in America. Did the nation fail to live up to its ideals? This is a history to be reckoned with. https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/us-and...KZhcPMwdK623m06WEPXIoiT9k8muWczwaAoKxEALw_wcB
New one should be good. Apparently he invokes the Charlottesville march and other recent right wing / neonazi events
