Ryan Howard’s relationship with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum runs deep. Long before Howard was a 3X All-Star and NL MVP, he was receiving tours from the legendary Buck O'Neil in Kansas City. He learned about the Negro Leagues legends and tried to take pieces of their game with him every season. Yesterday, Howard continued his steadfast support of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum by presenting a $20,000 check in support of the museum’s expansion effort.
