Interesting tidbit but lacking enough background to add to article

Interesting story about the use of the word jazz as it relates to a Negro League baseball player by the name of Ben Henderson.^[1] However, I cannot be sure it is this Ben Henderson - debuted in 1937 but story mentions 1912 when the word is used to describe his curveball.
