Dick Allen, James Grant, Kenny Lofton, Eddie Murray and J.R. Richard will be inducted into the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum's fifth "Hall of Game" class on June 9.
Established by the Kansas City museum in 2014, the Hall of Game recognizes players who "competed with the same passion, determination, skill and flair exhibited by the heroes of the Negro Leagues."
The NLBM will also present the Jackie Robinson Lifetime Achievement Award, the recipient of which will be the namesake's daughter. Sharon Robinson will receive the accolade for "career excellence in the face of adversity," as she serves as MLB's educational consultant and manages Breaking Barriers, a baseball-themed national character education curriculum that helps empower students facing obstacles.
