Durham recalls Negro Leagues to Orioles pipeline
Native of Newport News Virginia and former Chicago American Giants outfielder Durham reflects on early baseball days in the Negro Leagues, travel hardships, low pay, and how integration in 1947 reduced those leagues while he moved through minor leagues to reach the St Louis Browns and then the Orioles. He praises old players who taught fundamentals and notes his return to coaching at Bowie and Frederick.
