In 2003 the Cincinnati Museum of Art featured a special exhibit ‘Out At Home!: The Negro Baseball League.’ This series of nine lithographs by African American artist Joseph Norman, depicted the struggle of Black Baseball players. Mr. Norman was inspired to execute a series of prints about the Negro Baseball League because of the increasing interest in the important roles that African Americans have played in history and culture, specifically in America's "favorite pastime," Baseball.
