History will be made Wednesday in Kansas City when Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred visits the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
Manfred, along with MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark, is expected to announce a partnership with the museum including a significant donation, according to Negro Leagues Museum president Bob Kendrick.
“We’ve gotten some support throughout our existence, but we’ve never sat down at a table with the league to find out ways to support the museum,” Kendrick said. “It’s important to formulate partnership not just for financial reasons, but to have that support and to create a platform we can continue to rely on going forward.
