Negro League History 101 - An Introduction To The Negro Leagues In 1937 the Negro American League was launched, bringing into its fold the best clubs in the South and Midwest, and stood as the opposing circuit to Greenlee's Negro National League until the latter league disbanded after the 1949 season. The Negro National League continued on a sound footing for most of the 1920s, ultimately succumbing to the financial pressures of the Great Depression and dissolving after the 1931 season. Contributing greatly to the ever-growing national popularity of Negro League baseball during the 1930s and 1940s was the East-West All-Star game played annually at Chicago's Comiskey Park. www.negroleaguebaseball.com /history101.html

Negro League baseball Negro League owners who complained about this practice were in a no-win situation: they could not protect their own interests without seeming to interfere with the advancement of players to the majors. After the integration of the major leagues in 1947, as marked by the appearance of Jackie Robinson with the Brooklyn Dodgers that April, interest in Negro League baseball waned.

Yesterday's Negro League Baseball Players - History In 1920, the Negro National League, a group of eight ball clubs based in the mid-west and the games first truly successful black professional league, opened its gates and the league flourished for about a dozen years before it folded. The league ended in 1960, and at that time no one thought to preserve the history and the name Negro League, as a result of no one doing that, the words Negro League went into the public domain, which meant that anyone could use the words Negro League and profit from it. One of the purposes of Yesterday’s Negro League Baseball Foundation is to record the history of Negro League baseball from the experiences of the players. www.ynlbp.com /history.htm

Negro Leagues What we call "The Negro Leagues" was actually a variety of professional baseball leagues operating in the United States comprised of black and Hispanic ballplayers. The founder of the NNL, Rube Foster, was an overpowering pitcher and a dominant baseball executive in these critical years; he was also a great showman, and he brought his own Chicago American Giants into the NNL with seven other clubs.

Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Neil Lanctot, author of "Negro League Baseball," is interviewed on Jerry Jazz Musician We interviewed Negro League player Buck O'Neil a year or so ago, and he felt that baseball would be integrated by putting a Negro National League team in the National League and a Negro American League team in the American League so there would be two entirely black teams in major league baseball. During the sixties, National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle said he wanted his owners to think "league" and not "team," and I have been using that as an analogy for what the Negro League owners were going through. Negro League owners had to put bodies in the stands, and if they didn't, they weren't going to make any money, so they were so very dependent on that. www.jerryjazzmusician.com /linernotes/negro_league_baseball.html

Pitch Black Negro League site FAQs Negro League teams played a more daring type of game, stealing bases, hit-and-running and bunting, while Major League teams tended to play for home runs and big innings, which can be traced to the popularity of Babe Ruth. When Negro League teams put their best players on the field, they not only were Major League calibre, but in exhibitions against Major League teams they dominated, winning more than 60% of the time. These leagues were considered the "Big Leagues" of black baseball. www.pitchblackbaseball.com /faq.html

Negro Baseball League Before the breakdown of the segregated leagues, the Negro leagues were among the largest black businesses in the U.S. The last of the Negro leagues struggled on until 1960 with only a fraction of their former support and prestige. Decades after their demise, the Negro baseball leagues are beginning to be recognized for their contributions to black America's social and economic progress. Through the years, Negro leagues overcame hardships, were reformed and replaced, grew and sometimes flourished. www.42explore2.com /blkleag.htm

National League BaseballLibrary.com Claiming that the League saved baseball in 1876 and that under the reserve rules players' salaries had "more than trebled," the NL denounces the Brotherhood movement as "the efforts of certain overpaid players to again control [baseball] for their own aggrandizement. The league had remained unprofitable for most of that time, and various austerity measures were adopted by the teams, most notably lower salaries and greater use of the reserve clause (first thought of by Boston owner Arthur Soden in 1879). The American League, which was the old Western League with a name change, spent the 1900 season gearing up for battle and declared war in 1901, raiding NL rosters for stars. www.baseballlibrary.com /baseballlibrary/ballplayers/N/National_League.stm

Autographed Baseballs -- Negro Leagues This changed in 1920 with the organization of the first of the "Negro Leagues," Rube Foster's National Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs, better known as the Negro National League. The organized Negro Leagues drew unprecedented crowds during World War II, but the signing of Jackie Robinson by the Brooklyn Dodgers ensured that black baseball as an institution would not last.

Resolutions and Debate, Woman's National Loyal League Meeting, New York City, May 14, 1863 It is not, then, that she objects to the idea of the equality of women and negroes, but because she does not wish to have anything " tacked on 11 to the Loyal League, that to the mass of people does not seem to belong there. When that pirate captain landed on the shores of Africa, and there kidnapped the first stalwart negro, and fastened the first manacle, the struggle between that captain and that negro was the commencement of the terrible war in the midst of which we are to-day. It is a war to found an empire on the negro in slavery, and shame on us if we do not make it a war to establish the negro in freedom-against whom the whole nation, North and South, East and West, in one mighty conspiracy, has combined from the beginning. www.sscnet.ucla.edu /history/dubois/classes/995/98F/doc21.html

North Dakota Baseball History/Pitch Black Negro League site Negro League historians have tried for years to discern when Paige first developed his "hesitation pitch"–a pitch in which he would stop mid-delivery for a split second, then continue, shocking the off-balance batter in the process. In 1933, Jamestown became the first of the two teams to employ a great black pitcher when they signed Barney Brown, a star left-handed pitcher from the Negro Leagues, who was also a dangerous hitter (in the winter leagues one year he was the top pitcher and hitter). The new Northern League's Jimmies won the league with a 73-50 record and had the top batter in the league, Cal Lahman, who won the league's triple crown with a.391 batting average, 48 homers and 162 RBIs. www.pitchblackbaseball.com /northdakotabaseball.html

The History of Jim Crow A third organization, the largest mass movement among blacks prior to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, was less concerned with integration than with economic development. In the cities of the North, the NAACP and the National Urban League, both interracial groups, worked to integrate blacks into the economic mainstream of American life. This activism became known as the Civil Rights Movement, and the era is frequently called the "Second Reconstruction" because it effectively completed the Civil Rights revolution begun by Congress and embodied in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments passed in the decade after the Civil War. www.jimcrowhistory.org /history/overview.htm   (208 words)
