Do you remember Negro League?
Friday, March 24, 2006

Members of Pittsburgh's African-American community are being sought to provide fan banter and commentary for a new permanent Negro League Baseball exhibit being installed this season at PNC Park.

Casting takes place today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ebony Development, One Hope Square, 1901 Centre Ave., Hill District. The exhibit is being developed by the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center.

Anyone who's seen the Homestead Grays or the Pittsburgh Crawfords play or can comment on such NLB legends as Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson is welcome to recount his or her stories in front of the camera. For those who never had the experience, scripts will be provided.

CMU's Drama School will have costumes on hand, but people are encouraged to wear clothing from the 1930s through 1950s.

For more information, contact Winifred Torbert, director of community relations for the Pittsburgh Pirates, at 412-325-4731.
