Salute to the Negro Leagues - Monarchs v Eagles : 2023
Let’s salute the history of the Negro Leagues together! Join us on September 16, at 6:10 p.m., when the Houston Astros come to town. For the day, both the Royals and Astros will wear throwback uniforms. The Royals will wear 1945 Kansas City Monarchs home uniforms, and the Astros will wear the 1950 Houston Eagles away uniforms. Starting that day, game-used jerseys, hats, batting helmets, and more will be auctioned off at royals.com/auction and astros.com/auction. In the weeks following the game, additional memorabilia will be added to the auction as it is sorted and verified. All uniform auction proceeds will directly benefit the Negro League Baseball Museum
The first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a Monarchs jersey, presented by U.S. Bank. All gates will open at 4:30 p.m.

1938 League Stars pinbacks
In an effort to generate funds for the financially faltering league, Greenlee organized another All-Star game in 1938 to be played at Yankee Stadium on September 18. The game was rained out and Greenlee. The game was rescheduled for September 15 and moved to the Polo Grounds. These pinback buttons were created to commemorate the event

2001 Stitches in Time
I was recently introduced to this set by a friend. A 25 card insert sub-set of the 2001 Fleer Traditions cards, dedicated to the Negro Leagues. Parallels include autographs (Banks, Black, Irvin, O'Neil, Radcliffe and Wilson). Mays did not agree to sign any cards. Unsigned cards have appeared on the secondary market with forged signatures
