KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Fans of the former Negro League could have a chance to
commemorate some of its stars through a series of bobbleheads.The effort is designed to help mark the upcoming centennial of baseball’s Negro
National League, which began in Kansas City in February of 1920.
Supporters unveiled the first bobblehead, of pitcher Satchel Paige of the
Kansas City Monarchs, while announcing the campaign on Wednesday.
The Kansas City Star reports production of the rest of the licensed,
limited-edition bobbleheads will depend on a Kickstarter campaign sponsored by
the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and the Dreams Fulfilled, a
group promoting the Negro League centennial.
The goal is to raise $10,000 by Jan. 7th.
