I'd like to get more information on the Bankhead Brothers, Sam, Fred, Dan. Dan pitched in the majors briefly for the Dodgers. Sam is always mentioned in conjunction with his friendship of Josh Gibson(you hear his name in the announcement in the movie Only the Ball was White, most recently in a Sports Illustrated article about Josh Gibson). I'm looking for pictures, newspaper articles, etc.
