Negro Leagues Baseball Museum President Bob Kendrick is back and he’s playing the hits: a new slate of legends from the golden years of the Negro Leagues. In MLB The Show 26, we kick off the fourth season of this unforgettable mode with four new fascinating Negro League Legends. One of the greatest catchers in baseball history, one of the most fearsome power hitters the game has ever seen, the finest shortstop the Negro Leagues ever produced, and a young woman who was short in stature but had a gigantic presence on the pitcher’s mound.

Let the needle drop and play as legends of the Negro Leagues featuring Roy Campanella, Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, John Henry “Pop” Lloyd, and George “Mule” Suttles. Immerse yourself in a world of gameplay, historic footage and storytelling that dives into the tales behind the on-field action.

As you play through Season 4 you’ll unlock stadiums, uniforms, bat skins, and more. Including Mack Park, Bush Stadium, Rickwood Field and the new Terrapin Park Stadium. Three new Negro League uniforms from the Baltimore Elite Giants and returning uniforms like the Indianapolis Clowns, Detroit Stars and Kansas City Monarchs.

Storylines Season Four introduces ten new players, and additional Storylines featuring Willie James “El Diablo” Wells, Ray Dandridge, “Smokey” Joe Williams, Willard “Ese Hombre” Brown, Ted “Double Duty” Radcliffe, and Joseph Preston “Pete” Hill.  These will be available via a free update starting in April, with even more stories dropping throughout the season!¹
