Bill Greason, Negro Leagues Legend - a podcast by San Francisco Chronicle

Reverend Bill Greason, Willie Mays’ former teammate on the 1948 Birmingham Black Barons, talks with John Shea about Major League Baseball reclassifying the Negro Leagues as a “major league,” and about his amazing life, from fighting in the Battle of Iwo Jima, becoming the St. Louis Cardinals' first African American pitcher and serving as a minister in Birmingham for nearly 50 years. | Giants Splash Newsletter: sfchronicle.com/giantsnewsletter | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
