Video: Kewaneean Florance Norman, a Chicago Cubs scout
On April 5, I spoke about our own Florance Norman at the 27th annual Baseball in Culture and Literature Conference at Ottawa University in Kansas. The audience enjoyed another story about a Kewaneean’s connection to baseball. (Two years ago, Dr. Ray Dowell, then vice-president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, encouraged me to speak at last year’s 26th annual conference, where I told the story of the “Grand Old Man of Kewanee Baseball,” Lou Reynolds, Kewanee’s “Mister Baseball.”)
