My hometown - Kansas City - is where you'll find the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. All baseball fans should put a visit to the museum on their bucket list.
R.I.P. Buck O'Neil - a Kansas City Monarch great who was the greatest ambassador for the Negro Leagues well into his 90s.
I like to trust in people's tendency to be good and honest, so I'm going to believe he did it. Benefit of the doubt, balance of probabilities and all that jazz. Thanks for sharing this cool story, M.

Mick,
Really well Written Tale !
My dad used to talk about The Great Sachal Paige.
Thank you, Paul! And yes, DiMaggio called Paige the best pitcher he ever faced (in Winter Leagues).
WOW ! I didn't know that.
Your Crafted Story, really brought back fond memories of baseball, as well as highlighting, the awful truth of mistakes within Pro Baseball.
However, Your Tale reminds US. And I think & hope, in a strange way, it cements the Talent of these ball players, sometimes, unrecognized.
Jackie Robinson.
Roy Campenella.
Just to name a few.
Thank You, Mickster.
"Hey Mickey Your So Fine !"

Given the options, I'm going to say he did it. There was a lot of talent in the Negro Leagues and a powerful drive to excellence.
I like your reasoning, James.
There's a fair amount of documentation that when MLB's best went up against Negro League teams in the winter leagues, it was a meeting of equals.
