Cool Papa Bell was one of many Negro Leagues players who journeyed to the Dominican Republic in 1937 for higher pay and to compete in the Dominican baseball league consisting of three teams.  This bobblehead along with similar ones for Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson commemorates that fabled season. It is officially licensed by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

Player Biography
“Going from first to home, Jesse Owens wouldn’t have beaten ‘Cool Papa’ Bell,” said former Negro Leagues star Buck O’Neil. “[He] was the fastest man I’ve ever seen.” Legendary speed and a sharp batting eye made James “Cool Papa” Bell a top run producer in the Negro leagues. His .316 career batting average made him a devastating leadoff hitter, and he was an excellent defensive centerfielder. Bell played from 1922 to 1950, and served as a player-manager the last four years of his career. His playing style and speed epitomized the “inside baseball” style of the Negro Leagues.
