Wareham Community Comes Together to Honor Joe Campinha


Wareham Community Comes Together to Honor Joe Campinha
Sunday evening on Spillane Field, the Wareham Gatemen recognized the first Cape Verdean professional baseball catcher, Joe Campinha, for being one of the pioneers who helped break the color barrier in baseball s minor leagues.
Yes, he was a very important part of that struggle, said Campinha s daughter, Dr. Josepha Campinha-Bacote, President and Founder of Transcultural C.A.R.E. Associates. Insightfully, Campinha-Bacote talked about the inequities of American society, back then and continuing to today. The struggles are similar, she said.
When asked to describe her dad, she said, He never missed one day of work. He pushed us all hard and insisted, say if I got an A on my report card, he d say, Next time make that A an A+. ....

Birmingham observes 'galvanizing' social change of the Negro Leagues

Marilyn Robinson remembers her school days when her dad was more famous to others than to her.  But all of her teachers knew the former Negro League baseball player.
“One day my dad was coming to school,” Robinson said, recalling her father Stanley Jones’s visit to Bessemer’s Dunbar Elementary School. “He was coming to see my teacher and she got so excited to be able to see somebody famous.”
Years later, Robinson raised the eyebrow of a professor at Lawson State Community College.
“I said my dad went to Wenonah High School,” she recalled. “He said, ‘Who’s your dad?’ I told him my dad is Stanley Lee Jones and he played with the Birmingham Black Barons. He was so excited. He remembered my dad. He went and told other professors, ‘Hey, I’ve got Stanley Jones’ daughter in my class. ” ....

Solomon Crenshaw Jr.
For The Birmingham Times 
 James “Jake” Sanders’s voice was hoarse but that didn’t stop him from expressing his joy that Major League Baseball now views the Negro Leagues as major league.
“That’s the greatest thing that could have ever happened for the Negro League ballplayer because we have been left out of everything,” said the 86-year-old former outfielder whose Negro League career in the 1950s included stints with the Kansas City Monarchs, Raleigh Tigers, Birmingham Black Barons, New Orleans Bears and Detroit Stars. “That’s the best thing that could have ever happened.”
Major League Baseball announced in mid-December that it is reclassifying the Negro Leagues as a major league. ....

The case of Willie Mays’ missing HR: Will he get credit for Negro League blast? [San Francisco Chronicle]
Dec. 21 The magical number 660 overlaps generations of Giants fans.
Everyone knowing at least a little about Giants franchise history knows 660 is Willie Mays’ home run total.
What if the number jumped to 661?
Negro Leagues statistics from 1920 to 1948 soon will be classified among statistics of major-leaguers, and 1948 was Mays’ rookie season with the Birmingham Black Barons.
It had been believed Mays had no home runs that year, at least based on statistical websites. Upon further review, he did hit a homer in 1948, according to newspaper clippings and a record of the Negro American League final stats. ....
