Josh: 尼格罗联盟的故事与哈林环球旅行者队的故事类似，都是一群受歧视的人组建了自己的联盟，展现了他们的才华，最终被主流社会接纳，但一些为联盟做出贡献的人却被遗忘。这个故事不仅关乎棒球，更关乎历史和克服逆境。尼格罗联盟的成立，为当时非洲裔美国人在商业领域发展提供了难得的机会，因为除了球员的职业生涯发展外，还促进了黑人企业的发展，这在当时对黑人来说是很少有的机会。由于种族隔离，我们永远无法得知贝比·鲁斯与萨奇·佩奇对决的结果。 Chuck: 尼格罗联盟不仅仅是黑人球员因为种族歧视而被迫成立的联盟，它也是黑人球员和企业家获得权力和发展的平台。它展现了美国人民的精神、决心和勇气，以及对棒球运动的热爱。在尼格罗联盟中，黑人球员和企业家获得了权力和发展的机会，这在当时对黑人来说是很少有的。尼格罗联盟的比赛水平与白人联盟不相上下，甚至在一些展览赛中，黑人球队战胜白人球队。萨奇·佩奇是尼格罗联盟最伟大的投手之一，以其独特的投球风格和长寿的职业生涯而闻名。他的职业生涯成就令人瞩目，其胜场数可能超过了美国职业棒球大联盟历史上任何一位投手。亚特兰大勇士队曾签下萨奇·佩奇，帮助他获得美国职业棒球大联盟的养老金。尼格罗联盟的成功最终导致了其自身的消亡，因为尼格罗联盟球员的出色表现最终促使了美国职业棒球大联盟打破了种族隔离。
