Baseball Hall of Famer Ray Dandridge to be immortalized with bobblehead

Ray Dandridge, arguably the greatest baseball player to ever come out of Richmond, is back in the news.

The Hall of Fame third baseman is one of 13 Negro Leagues standouts being honored with bobbleheads.

The project is a partnership of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame Museum in Milwaukee and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.

Other former Negro Leaguers getting bobbleheads are Rube Foster, Buck Leonard, Martin Dihigo, Buck O’Neil, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston, Judy Johnson, Pop Lloyd, Leon Day, Cool Papa Bell and Bob Motley.
