The Negro Leagues Baseball stamp pays tribute to the all-Black professional leagues that operated from 1920 to about 1960.  Considered the "father" of Negro leagues baseball, Andrew "Rube" Foster (1879-1930) established the Negro National League in 1920, the first successful league of African American baseball teams. The stamps feature a scene painted by Kadir Nelson of San Diego.
