The exhibition traces the details surrounding the opening of Yankee Stadium to Negro League play on July 5, 1930, and the subsequent substantial presence of Black professional baseball at America's premier sports arena into the early 1960's. Among the individuals players highlighted are Satchel Page, John Henry "Pop" Lloyd, and Staten Island native Fred "Sonny" Logan.
