This is my 2nd piece about a Negro Leagues great who deserves to be honored at Busch Stadium. You can read about Willie Wells here. I made the overall case for honoring Negro Leagues players at Busch Stadium here.
Three players for the Negro National League St. Louis Stars are in the National Baseball Hall of Fame: James “Cool Papa” Bell, Willie Wells and George “Mule” Suttles.
Suttles was a power hitting 1st baseman and left fielder. Though his tenure with the Stars was the briefest of the trio - 6 years - he still ranks 4th in WAR among Stars players, behind only Wells, Bell and pitcher Logan Hensley.
