One of the special features of an Amazon Prime “Thursday Night Football” broadcast is the “‘N Yo’ City” videos with former Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch.

Each week Lynch ventures away from the football stadium and investigates something special about the town with a guest.

While Amazon was preparing to broadcast last week’s Chiefs-Broncos game, Lynch was joined by Pat Mahomes Sr. at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.

The two former athletes were treated to a tour by museum president Bob Kendrick, who dispensed his wealth of knowledge about the Negro Leagues.

“Boy you spit that easily don’t you?” Lynch said to Kendrick at one point.

If you’ve never visited the museum, here is a good, albeit brief, introduction to just some of the wonderful things you will see. It’s well worth a visit, whether you are out of town or live in the Kansas City area.
