	Black Sox
		Black Sox trade pitchers Josh Fogg (6-6, 3.66) and Rick Helling (23-25, 5.02) to the Cyclones for pitcher Brian Anderson (14-17, 4.49) and two picks.
		The Black Sox blew it big time but before the season started many thought the aught-3 Black Sox were the team to beat in the American League.
		The Black Sox missed the playoffs by a game and could have easily earned a bid had they actively and aggressively managed to string a win or two together in the final week of the season, especially against the Spiders.

	Cecil County Baseball
		Black players were fielded by many integrated minor league teams during the early 1880s and in 1884 Moses "Fleet" Walker went pro on a major league team - the Toledo Blue Stockings.
		As evidenced by the large number of fl expatriates who went to France in the 1930s, fls were treated there more as equals than they had been in the U. It must have been quite an enlightening and esteem-building experience for these young Cecil County men.
		The Black Sox were an important local institution by 1934, and the community pitched in to help clear trees and build a new field where the "Log Pond" of the old Maryland Canal had been.

	Baltimore Black Sox of 1929
		Consisting of essentially the same ballclubs as it's predecessor, the American Negro League lasted only one season, and the Baltimore Black Sox copped the league's only pennant by winning both halves of the split season with an aggregate.700 percentage.
		The Black Sox boasted an infield consisting of Dick Lundy at Shortstop, Oliver Marcelle at thirdbase, playing manager Frank Warfield at secondbase, and slugger Jud "Boojum" Wilson at firstbase.
		This was the first inner defense to be called the "million dollar infield." Wilson and outfielder Rap Dixon provided the offensive power for the team, and Laymon Yokely was the ace of the pitching staff.

		Black Crackers, the team that requires an adjective because they were, you know, the other guys.” These teams were different than the white teams, there was no hiding that.
		These fl ballplayers were undoubtedly treated better in the North but these men were still aggressively discriminated against all over the country.
		The fl baseball teams in the 1930s could not afford to build their own stadiums so they had to play in stadiums that white teams would call their home.

		In their first seasons, the Black Sox finished last at 19-0, but they were second at 30-19 in 1924.
		There was no ECL in 1928, but the 1929 Black Sox, anchored by their “Million Dollar” infield of Jud Wilson, Frank Warfield, Dick Lundy, and Oliver Marcelle, swept to pennants in both halves.
		This was easily the greatest Black Sox squad with Rap Dixon, Robert Clarke, and pitchers Red Ryan, Pud Flournoy, and Laymon Yokeley adding their talents to those of the terrific infield.
