"I Forgot To Tell You About ...The Story of The Cleveland Buckeyes" captures the love, loss, grace under fire, and phenomenal ingenuity. This improbable yet compelling story of the overwhelming odds of an unlikely team who won the forgotten championship of 1945. The Buckeye's should have become one of the nation's celebrated baseball teams of the early 20th century. They were not recognized for their greatness until 2020 when the Major League Baseball organization honored Negro Leagues by giving them Major League status, correcting a shameful "Longtime Oversight".
