Frsico Rough Rider first pitch by Dick "Lefty" O'NealThe Lord works in mysterious but wonderful ways. Being able to through out the First Pitch at a Frisco Rough Riders baseball game was made possible by an interview I had done with USA radio and the voice you hear is the person who interviewed me 3 months before this game. I was at a book signing event in St. Louis, Missouri when the interview took place. He asked if I would be willing to throw out the first pitch later on in the baseball season. I said yes and you now see the result. Frisco is the AA Affiliate of the Texas Rangers. My wife and I and the Center For Negro League Research Director, Dr. Layton Revel, and his wife were all guest of the team that night.

By all counts, Dick "Lefty" O'Neal didn't have a chance of playing professional baseball. However, today he holds the distinction of being the only white baseball player to pitch for two teams in the Negro Leagues.
Dick O'Neal's writings are those of an angel himself. He is a very humble and inspiring person, whom I have come to respect and love dearly ...
