Negro League Baseball Discussion Forum: Former Players – Information Exchange: Info on Garland Redd
By Jay Perkins (Xyled) on Wednesday, August 18, 1999 – 11:04 pm:
Can anyone give me info on Garland Redd? He lives in the retirement home here in St Louis, MO where I work and I know he played in the Negro Leagues. Also are there any online books that have lists of Negro League plyers? Also are there any organizations that can help former players because this retirement home is a "welfare-funded" facility and Mr Redd doesnt have very much. any help will be appreciated.
