The Postal Service presented a sneak preview of the new “Negro Leagues Baseball Stamps” prior to a recent Sacramento Rivercats and Tacoma Rainiers minor league baseball game. The unveiling took place at Raley Field, home of the Rivercats.
The two new 44-cent First-Class Mail stamps pay tribute to the all-black professional baseball leagues that operated from 1920 to about 1960. The stamps will be officially introduced July 15.
Unveiling the new stamps were Sacramento Postmaster Al Santos, District Manager Bill Hodson and Pacific Area Vice President Drew Aliperto, who also threw out the first pitch.
