..."“Donating the proceeds from Buck O’Neil Barrel-Aged Saison to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is one small way we can give back for everything they’ve done for our community,” said Bobby Dykstra, vice president of sales at Boulevard parent company Duvel Moortgat USA.

“The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is excited about this historic collaboration with Boulevard Brewing Company and Vine Street Brewing Company to honor Buck O’Neil and celebrate his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame,” said Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. “I know that Buck would be thrilled about this recognition and the support that it is generating for his museum. He would be equally excited about the opportunity to shine light on the Vine Street Brewing Company, a great new addition to Historic 18th & Vine.”

Opening soon, Vine Street Brewing is the first Black-owned brewery in Kansas City, focused on infusing the spirits of community, jazz and hip hop into its craft beer."

Bring up a piece of Baseball History and remembering those great players that only due to race were barred from playing in the major Leagues. Baseball overall lost a lot by not having many of the great Negro League players in the major League lineup. I was wondering as that being the Kansas City Monarchs was the the basis for the major league team being called the Kansas City Royals ? Not a statement just a question. It seems somehow other reasons with the cattle industry is said to reflect that name but I don't see it and what I ask seems to make more sense to Me than what they seem to say.
