Quotable:

“It is more of an experience museum than a collection of priceless memorabilia — heck, nobody could afford the memorabilia. The museum is set up so that when you first walk in you are blocked from the baseball diamond by chicken wire … you can see the field as you walk all the way around but you cannot get to it until the end, a symbol of the struggle.

And for many years you would show up there and it was likely that Buck O’Neil himself would be around to offer a few stories, or my friend Bob Kendrick, the marketing director, would be around to offer a guided tour. The thing I have always loved about the place is that you can know nothing at all about the Negro Leagues or you can be a baseball historian, and it is the same, the experience of being in the place hits you square. If you have ever visited the place, you know what I mean. It’s special. I will always feel that way. The place has been one of the great loves of my life.

And so, it hurts me to say this, but this is the point today: I intend to never set foot in there again. I know that sounds harsh, but there it is. Maybe, in time, my feelings will soften. Maybe someday I will feel differently. But there are a lot of raw feelings now. As mentioned, this one’s personal.” Joe Posnanski on the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City
