Bill Cathcart was among the honorees at a Negro League Baseball tribute before today’s Bowie Baysox game. Cathcart was a pitcher for the Joe Black National League All-Stars, which played the last of the Negro League teams in the Northeast during the late 50s. Black, who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, was the first African-American pitcher to win a World Series game.
I had the pleasure of meeting Cathcart, father of Christopher Cathcart, president of the OneDiaspora Group and an alumnus of Howard University. It’s clear that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
