Where was the glove?
Before leaving Atlanta, James "Red" Moore (no relation) told me to look for his old first baseman's glove when I got to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Said Mary Moore of her 94-year-old husband, who is among the fewer than 130 players left from the leagues, "Oh, lordy, Jesus, we promised the glove to them, and we went on and gave it to them. Yeah, and it's the only thing we really had left from back then."
So, moments after I walked into the museum, I searched from exhibit to exhibit, but the glove wasn't there.
The doomsayers are correct, I thought. They swear on a stack of Josh Gibson trading cards that since the death of baseball saint Buck O'Neil four years ago, his obsession inside of Kansas City's 18th & Vine district was going, going, nearly gone.
