YNLBP Wall Of Fame Inductees 2017

Milwaukee Brewers hosted their franchise’s 12th annual Negro Leagues Tribute Game at Miller Park on Saturday, August 12, 2017. At this game they honored former players Reggie Howard and Don "Rook" Porter during a tailgate reception at Helfaer Field, along with a special pre-game ceremony and autograph session at Miller Park. The Brewers Community Foundation made a donation to both the Negro Leagues Museum and Yesterday’s Negro League Baseball Players Foundation as well. The next day, Sunday August 13, Howard and Porter were inducted into the Yesterday’s Negro League Hall of Fame at the Mother Kathryn Daniels Center, on the grounds of Milwaukee’s Holy Redeemer Church.
