Thanks!
Yes, Dave Malarcher was not one of the premiere Negro Leagues players, but he was universally respected. A true gentleman, as his nickname indicates. He was also highly intelligent and had a successful life post-playing career. He served as player-manager for several seasons, and he formed his own independent club for a time. Having attended both Dillard University and Xavier University, he later opened his own real estate agency and was also a published poet.

Malarcher become one of my favorite players from the Negro Leagues when I learned more about him after Replay Baseball put out their 1923 Negro Leagues card set some years back.
