Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2005 I always thought it would be fun, to image the greats of the Negro leagues on ML rosters. For instance, still believing they lack that true number 1 starter, the New York Yankees sign Leroy "Satchel" Paige. Not to be out the A's are able to sign P-Martin Dihigo. Dihigo teams with Lefty Grove, to form one of the great Lefty-Righty duos in MLB history. Soon after Dihigo is sent to the Detroit Indians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 1943, Bill Veeck wanted to buy the Phillies and staff them with negro league stars, but Judge Landis made sure that didn't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
