Baseball history!  A rebroadcast from our archives in the midst of our campaign to get Leon Day (1916-1995) into the Cooperstown Hall of Fame, February 1992.  We are joined by Leon Day, and Leon’s teammate and Hall of Famer Monte Irvin (1919-2016) in hour two, as well as historian and SABR member Todd Bolton. Several manufacturers of replica Negro Leagues jerseys and pennants and cards joined in to present their specialized gifts to Leon for him to wear during his “Leon Day Day” at the Mayor’s and Governor’s offices, and when we took him to the White House. Today, we are launching a statue campaign, check it out! Today’s the Day!  The website is leon day statue dot com. Hosted by Dr. Bob Hieronimus www.21stCenturyRadio.com. Produced by Hieronimus & Co. for 21st Century Radio®.  Edited version provided to Nightlight Radio with permission.
