J.L. Wilkinson Quote - The Donaldson Network Films

Kansas City Monarchs owner J.L. Wilkinson called John Donaldson, “the most amazing pitcher I have ever seen,” he was paying a huge compliment. You see, Wilkinson witnessed some of the greatest pitching talents in the history of the game. Satchel Paige, Bullet Rogan, Jose Mendez, William Foster and Hilton Smith just to name a few. To put John Donaldson above these Hall of Fame players makes one wonder how does nobody know about John Donaldson. Donaldson’s playing career behind the color line was historic. This short film tells of why Donaldson remains a myth in the eyes of baseball fans everywhere. More than a baseball story, more than a Negro League legend, John Donaldson performed in nearly 700 towns and cities across the continent. The Donaldson Network was formed in 2005 to discover every game John Donaldson played in. More information can be found at johndonaldson.bravehost.com.
