<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#242424;background:white">In the last thirty-plus years, there has been a remarkable resurgence of interest in the rich history of </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#242424">Negro <span style="background:white">league
baseball, its teams, executives, and ballplayers. This talk examines some of the multifaceted aspects of the </span>Negro<span style="background:white"> league baseball renaissance. It documents the </span>Negro<span style="background:white"> league revival,
which has been expressed in myriad, sometimes surprising forms, and considers some of its cultural and historical sources. My comments, however, are just a prelude to a public conversation I want to have with people attending the Birrell/Parratt Lecture. What
do people think it means that so many people are now (relatively) knowledgeable about long forgotten or neglected Black baseball teams and players? Is there something nostalgic about the interest some people have in </span>Negro<span style="background:white"> league
baseball? To what extent is interest in the </span>Negro<span style="background:white"> leagues rooted in a social and/or racial justice impulse or agenda, a desire to make Black Baseball Lives Matter? To what extent (and for whom) are the </span>Negro<span style="background:white"> leagues
primarily a profitable cottage industry, one that commercializes an institution that only existed due to systemic, institutional racism?</span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
