The history of Indianapolis’ negro leagues

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The role Indiana played in one of baseball’s most important legacies, the Negro Leagues , was discussed Thursday night in Indianapolis.

It was part of the monthly series called Conversations on Indiana: African American History and Culture.

The nonprofit Freetown Village hosts the series.

Two visitors talked Thursday morning about the series on “Daybreak.” Clete Ladd is a historian, and Rodney Scott is one of the best players ever to come out of Indianapolis. Scott is an Arlington alum who went on to star in Major League Baseball.
