The Negro Leagues are receiving the kind of credit and recognition they always have deserved on Sunday.
Every MLB club is celebrating the centennial of the Negro National League -- the first structured Negro Leagues that lasted an extended period of time. All players, managers, coaches and umpires are wearing a Negro Leagues 100th anniversary logo patch on their uniforms during Sunday's slate of games. That includes the A's and Giants, whose home cities have a deep history in the Negro Leagues.
Though the West Coast Negro League Baseball Association only lasted one season, its history in Oakland and San Francisco shouldn't be forgotten.
