JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) Missourians will soon be able to purchase license plates highlighting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, after Gov. Mike Parson signed legislation creating the plate.
The Republican governor signed the bill into law on Monday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. It gives motorists the option of donating $10 to the museum, which makes them eligible to apply for the specialty license plates. The plate itself requires another $15 charge on top of the regular license plate registration fee.
The law is effective Aug. 28.
The museum was founded in 1990 and spotlights the league that began play in 1920 and remained popular through the 1940s. Major League Baseball s color barrier was broken when Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Bud Selig, who spent 23 years as commissioner of Major League Baseball, 35 years as the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, and virtually 86 years as a baseball fan, addressed the Israel Olympic Baseball team on Friday and invited them to ask questions.
There was a slight hesitation before a player blurted: “Are you happy with the game the way it is today opposed to when you left?’’
Selig paused, looked around, and said, “Well, I try to stay away from that.’’
You know about the barbecue. You know about the sports teams. But what you might not know about Kansas City is just how cool it really is. Straddling the state line between Kansas and Missouri (youâll mostly stick to the Missouri side), this Midwestern hub is an eclectic mix of artsy neighborhoods, boutique hotels, jazz clubs, and delicious restaurants that serve way more than brisket and burnt endsâalthough youâll want to try those, too. There are breweries to sample, museums to tour, and used bookstores you can easily spend hours in. In other words, KCMO is much more than a drive-by city. Plan a trip hereâthe locals will welcome you with open armsâand learn the true meaning of âMidwest is best.â
