	Chicago American Giants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Chicago American Giants were a Chicago based Negro League baseball team, formed in 1910 by player-manager Andrew "Rube" Foster.
		The American Giants won the Negro National League (NNL) championship in 1920, 1921, 1922, 1926 and 1927.
		This was not to last, however, and in 1937 the team was one of the charter members of the Negro American League.

	The Giants and the Color Barrier
		Giants players Fletcher and Snodgrass (who would earn infamy later in the year) protested to the umpire, feeling that if the Smart Sets were able to bat against a pitcher with a clean ball, the Giants should have the same right.
		The influence of the New York Giants on baseball can be seen by the fact that many teams in the Negro Leagues were labeled as "Giants." The list includes: the Bacharach Giants, Chicago American Giants, Cuban X-Giants, Lincoln Giants, Philadelphia Giants, St. Louis Giants, Nashville Elite Giants and the Brooklyn Royal Giants.
		Jackie Robinson first played for Brooklyn in 1947, and it was not until 1949 that the Giants became the second team in the National League to integrate.
