In the early 1900s, leather liners like this were worn by baseball players underneath their caps, giving them a small amount of protection in an era before full helmets were common. This red leather liner was worn by Walter "Buck" Leonard—first baseman, heavy hitter, and one of the most famous players in the Negro Leagues. Swipe to see a photo of Buck Leonard in action. ? Born in 1907, Walter "Buck" Leonard spent nearly all of his professional baseball career playing for the Homestead Grays, a Negro Leagues team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Famous for both his prowess at bat as well as his quiet demeanor, Leonard helped lead the Grays to win nine consecutive Negro National League championships. ⚾️ Despite his successes on the field, Leonard was unable to secure a place in the major leagues due to racial segregation. By the time professional baseball's "color line" was broken in the the 1940s, Leonard felt he was too old to be an effective player. Decades later, in 1972, Leonard's contributions to the sport were recognized when he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. #BlackHistoryMonth #AmericanHistory #SportsHistory #BaseballHistory #PennsylvaniaHistory #PittsburghHistory #SportsTechnology #Innovation #ManyVoices #NationWeBuildTogether
