The PBS station near me has been showing the "Shadow Ball" inning of Ken Burns' baseball and it motivated me to post some of my newer negro league pick ups and send out a call to see the other negro league/black baseball items that board members have. The items listed below are

1 Page from Chicago Defender 1942- I think sometimes we think that the Negro Leagues didn't have much of a media following but we forget that there were black newspapers that gave them the same kind of coverage that white papers gave the majors

2. 1907 Postcard with integrated semi pro team - see my George Wilson post a couple weeks back for more info

3. A flyer for the Indianapolis Clowns circa 1962-- few realize that the Clowns continued to tour for decades after Jackie

4. A 1920's snapshot - has anyone seen this image before-- I just have the feeling that I've seen it before
