 | | Radcliffe, who has died aged 103, was not the best batting catcher in the Negro Leagues, nor by any means the best pitcher. |
 | | True to form, Radcliffe was already on his way to the Brooklyn Eagles, and then to Cincinnati, where he became a player-manager, which prompted a move to Memphis, and two successful seasons in the dual roles. |
 | | Radcliffe also played in integrated winter leagues in Cuba and Mexico, and as early as 1935 barnstormed in Canada with an all-white team playing Jimmy Foxx's all-stars. |
