Charley Pride's first love was baseball and he desperately wanted to be a major league player. He was actually a pretty good player....pitcher and outfielder.
Charley Pride. One of my favorite people of all time. I have seen Charlie several times in North Dallas and once in Hawaii but never had the nerve to approach him.
Today we are honoring #CMHOF member Charley Pride . At age sixteen, Pride left home to play professional baseball in the Negro American League. This early baseball card shows Charley as pitcher for the Memphis Red Sox
