The biggest challenge is time. We are losing folks that lived those days & can tell the stories first hand whether its family or players themselves. Bob doesn't ever want the stories to die. Hopefully this project will help in keeping them alive. The mission of the museum isn't to just preserve the history of the league, but to get urban kids play the game. The Royals are probably the last team to play the Negro League style of baseball, which is stealing bases and putting the ball in play. We love traditions in baseball, but its also baseballs traditions that has hurt the league, especially compared to the other sports. MLB can put emphasize on its stars like the Negro Leagues did and other sports are doing. Still waiting on the time frame to get the Negro League stats integrated into MLB history. The exciting part isn't the numbers, but its the acknowledgment from MLB.Lea B. Olsen,  Broadcaster, Minnesota Lynx, Timberwolves & TwinsPeople feel weighted down in Minnesota. First George Floyd, the lockdown and now this. Feels like nothing was learned from the George Floyd situation. Thought things would change because corporate America and others leading change, yet we are right back where we started from. Is learning that people really do not understand the problem with black men and police. There has been push back on sports reacting to what happening in Minnesota. Steps taken by officials have been ok, so far. People wanted quick action. Loves the professional sports teams speaking up. Lea's major concern is the health of the youth as what's happening in the country is a lot for kids.  Players for Wolves & the Lynx are really down about everything and wondering what's next.
