Historical
Larry was an outfield star in our country’s historical American Negro
League. He later befriended and barnstormed with one of Major League
Baseball’s most legendary greats, Satchel Paige. Larry was a consistent
.300-plus hitter with the ability to hit the ball to all fields, homerun
power, impeccable speed, and a rocket arm that earned the selection of two
East-West All-Star games in 1958 and 1959. He played for the Memphis Red Sox (1957), Detroit Stars (Detroit Clowns)
(1958), Kansas City Monarchs/NY Yankees Minor League/St. Petersburg Saints
(1959) and went on to play with the Satchel Paige All-Stars (1960–1964).
