A special exhibit, "Discover Greatness," is now on display at Arts-Westchester, highlighting the history of Negro Leagues baseball.
The exhibit, a partnership between the African American Men of Westchester and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, showcases the legendary players of the early 20th century who were barred from playing in the all-white Major Leagues.
The creation of the Negro Leagues allowed these talented players to showcase their skills, and the exhibit honors their contributions to the sport.
Visitors can meet former Negro League pitcher Pedro Sierra, who played from 1954 to 1958, and explore the exhibit until this Saturday.
