Terrible Story on a Stolen Collection

The cards definitely not worth millions, so there must have been a lot of memorabilia.

Awful that the cards were stolen, of course.

However, while reading the story, it bothered me that it didn't go into Horace Moore's history.

Along with a couple of generalized statements about not being allowed in the majors, the most we get is: "Juakee Moore says his dad, Horace Moore, is a former Negro League baseball legend in Huntsville."

His son says so - that's it? There's no apparent effort to research Moore's history to at least state his playing time as a fact, instead leaving it as just a claim attributed to a son. I wanted to see that angle fleshed out. What team/s did he play for? Position? How was he a legend? The story sets up a proud history but then just stepped around it. Not every player could be Satchel or Gibson, but every person has a story.

Google's first search result helped scratch the itch. Moore played for the Birmingham Black Barons. I won't ruin it, but Moore has a fun story, and it's a short read:
