Ep. 51 Dr Keith B Wood Talks Memphis Red Sox History

In this “On The Sideline” episode, Dr. Keith B. Wood takes us on a historical journey through the legacy of the Memphis Red Sox, one of the most influential Negro League baseball teams.

He sheds light on how the Red Sox transcended sports to become a cultural phenomenon during the Jim Crow era, deeply intertwined with the Black church and the Memphis community.

Dr. Wood’s insights from his latest book, “The Memphis Red Sox: A Negro League’s History,” reveal the unique impact of this team, often overshadowed by more famous counterparts like the Kansas City Monarchs and Pittsburgh Crawfords.
