Negro Leagues

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is planning a $30 million expansion in the Historic 18th and Vine district that will allow it to add more museum offerings and also include a seven story hotel, a rooftop bar and a restaurant. The Kansas City institution was also featured on the video game "MLB The Show 25."

Kansas City author Phil Dixon has spent decades arguing that Major League Baseball should incorporate Negro Leagues statistics into its record books. That finally happened on Wednesday.

Wichita’s National Baseball Congress has showcased the best collegiate and semipro players in the country for nearly 100 years. But of all the players who have played here, perhaps none is as significant to the city’s baseball history as Leroy “Satchel” Paige.

The Kansas City Council rezoned the baseball legend's home this week so the 112-year-old property can be repurposed for events, office space and a museum.

Negro Leagues historian Phil Dixon has a new book about the legendary baseball player and ambassador. It allows readers to hear excerpts of recorded interviews with Buck O'Neil.

O’Neil was one of two Negro Leaguers in the Early Baseball Era elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame Sunday, an election that many say was long overdue.

Sportswriter Joe Posnanski's book "The Baseball 100," which ranks the game's top players, comes out Tuesday. Satchel Paige, whose primary team was the Kansas City Monarchs, ranks at number 10, and Royals' slugger George Brett comes in at 35.

The Monarchs swept the best-of-five championship series against the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, carrying the winning legacy of its Negro Leagues namesake into a new century.

The first professional baseball team in 62 years to bear the revered name of the winningest franchise from the Negro National League is living up to its namesake's reputation.

Adding Black players' performance data could be changing the record books of Major League Baseball.

Missouri's legislature convenes for a special session, and Baseball Reference adds Negro Leagues statistics to its database.
