Ray Mackey, Rich Westcott | The Story of Raleigh "Biz" Mackey

Meet the man responsible for both the skills of Roy Campanella, and the rise of baseball in Japan. Oh, and he also happened to have his own Hall of Fame resume ON the field. Bob Kendrick, Rich Westcott, and Ray Mackey discuss the life, career, and lasting legacy of Ray's Great Uncle, the legendary Raleigh "Biz" Mackey.   Hear about Raleigh's humble beginnings in Texas and his rise to become a traveling superstar, his multiple Negro Leagues championships two decades apart, his unparalleled ability behind the plate, his invaluable mentorship off the field, and the feats he accomplished on the other side of the world that have STILL not been replicated to this day. But first, join Bob for a VERY special announcement from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, right off the top. Support the Biz Mackey Family Foundation - bizmackey.orgRead Rich Westcott's "Biz Mackey, A Giant Behind the Plate" - AmazonFollow Bob Kendrick on Twitter - @nlbmprezTo support the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and preserve the legacy of Buck O'Neil, please visit ThanksAMillionBuck.comVisit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City - NLBM.com Follow Bob Kendrick on Twitter/X - @nlbmprez Follow Bob Kendrick on Instagram - @nlbmprez To support the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, please visit Donate | Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Visit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City - NLBM.com See and Support the Dream of the NEW Negro Leagues Baseball Museum - Pitch for the Future Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
