This was excellent. Go follow @tangibleuno.bsky.social.
This is good and you should read it
Pat Ellington is a unique presence in baseball research and commentary. Good to see him featured here.
I love that your work is reclaiming Black history and present day Black experiences lost by flattening and segregating Black and Latin identity as our own. Something that we, as Black Americans from the U.S., can embrace. I’m bringing a Pan-African approach to studying the game. Baseball is the last place where these intersecting identities should be erased. The anticolonial elements of Black baseball culture do not get emphasized enough. You had, less than 100 years ago, Black players from Cuba and Alabama playing across the United States and the Americas. Black baseball players who were discriminated in their hometowns were treated like celebrities in South America. Before Jackie Robinson was allowed to play on a Major League field, he did a tour of Venezuela alongside Josh Gibson and other Negro League stars. There's an idiom in Venezuela that’s something like “Don’t pull a Willie Mays.” Why? Because when Willie Mays was in the Venezuelan Winter League, he struggled for a week. That’s the level of cultural impact they had. I want to preserve those stories.
Pat dropped so many gems about why we, as Black Americans, should embrace the fullness of Black history across the diaspora. He provides a model of solidarity I think we can all share.

NEW: I spoke to the journalist and researcher Pat Ellington, Jr., whose singular work expands the fullness and depth of Black history through Francisco Lindor, Ronald Acuña, and the global impact of baseball.
issa very, very special BHM edition of [eyeblack]:
Pat has an archival knowledge of the global Black diaspora’s participation in baseball. He connects dots like few I’ve ever met.
I’m grateful he spoke to [eyeblack] www.readeyeblack.com/p/eyeblack-h...
Pat is one of the best baseball writers around, glad to see him getting more shine. Follow @tangibleuno.bsky.social for more
