Nashville Sounds to Honor Negro Leagues Star Henry Kimbro
Description
Henry Kimbro was a stocky speedster who earned his living slap-hitting baseballs between third base and shortstop or into the outfield gaps. He served as the leadoff hitter for the Baltimore Elite Giants for 13 of his 18 seasons in the Negro Leagues as his 5’ 8”, 175- pound frame could generate quite a punch when he chose.
On Saturday, August 10, the Nashville Sounds will honor Henry Kimbro in a special way, a fitting tribute for one of Nashville’s favorite baseball sons!
