“Of the people I called — people like Satchel Paige, Cool Papa Bell, Monte Irvin — they all knew about Clint,” he said. “He was kind of a big deal.”
So it was Stultz’s idea to have some of the old players come in for an 80th birthday party for Thomas and that blos-somed into a full-fledged Negro League Reunion. He merged the celebra-tion with the Tri-State Fair and Regatta to give it more exposure and from there it exploded.
“At the banquet we had several hundred show up,” he said. “We had a press conference on a boat. Fourteen or 15 players came in for the birthday party to honor Clint Thomas.”
Stultz and his wife, Pat, moved from the area before the second reunion took place but Ashland Oil took the idea and ran with it and it was celebrated for two more years here.
Ernie Banks, Buck O’Neil, Monte Irvin, Jake Stevens, Turkey Stea-rns, Buck Leonard, Ray Dandridge, Judy John-son, Ted Page, Eugene Benson and Leon Day came the first year. In later years, Banks, Paige, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Bob Feller and Happy Chandler were among the guests.
“Most of those guys are in the Hall of Fame,” Stultz said. “Clint still isn’t, but he should be. They started a wing (for the Negro League play-
ers) in Cooperstown.”Stultz said many of
the players stayed at his home in Greenup and talked about the old days for hours. He was mesmerized with all the stories.
“It started as an idea to honor Clint,” he said. “If I could have videotaped the stories. The mood just changed. Of course, I cry at the Smurfs, but when they got up and saw several hundred people turned out, those guys instead of getting up and joking were all choked up.”
The national media came to Ashland, includ-ing Sports Illustrated and NBC.
It suddenly went from being a big birthday party to a time of hon-oring players who were incredibly talented but never received proper recognition. The stories that came from the memories of these men would make you laugh one second and cry the next.
“Having Ernie Banks and Monte Irvin at your house, as a baseball fan, it doesn’t get any better than that,” Stultz said.
“They were telling stories about Luis Tiant Sr. when he was in the Cuban League.
“It was an incredible blessing to be involved in that.”
It also scored na-tional points for the Ashland-Greenup area, who treated the Negro League players like the heroes they were. Stultz said he still gets goose bumps remembering the moments.
“To see the acceptance of that in Greenup, my hometown, and to get a thank you card signed by just about every African American in Greenup is one of my treasured pos-sessions. I have it framed in my office at home.”
The Negro League Hall of Fame had a short life here, a couple of years at the old Jean Thomas Museum, before a move-ment was started to bring it to Kansas City, home of the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro League era.
Buck O’Neil, who died about 11 years ago, was instrumental in getting the Negro League Hall of Fame in Kansas City, where it receives thou-sands of visitors a year. O’Neil did more to fur-
ther the Negro League cause than anybody else but he sadly never made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
Tom Stultz’s name probably isn’t in that Negro League Hall of Fame although maybe it should be. The recogni-tion that the old league enjoys today started right here in northeast-ern Kentucky, when a big birthday bash for “the black Joe DiMaggio” became a movement to rightfully honor some of baseball’s all-time greats.
