This is the third installment during Black History Month of HBCU Baseball Historical Hi-Lites in “trading card” format. In his only year of college baseball, Tommie Agee earned National Intercollegiate Athletic Association (NAIA) All-American honors finishing third in the country with a .500 batting average, tied for third in home runs with 7 and seventh in the country with 37 RBI. Following the 1961 season, Tommie Agee signed a lucrative contract with the Cleveland Indians and went on to a productive 12-year Major League Baseball career.
Great man with an even more outstanding story.
