I am working on a project that covers Negro League teams and players in Alabama prior to 1950. Other than the most famous players, ie Satchel & Willie, I'm having a tough time finding images of players, teams and ballparks. If anyone has any items I would love to see what is out there - and make offers if you might make it available! Even if not I am very curious to know if there is stuff I am missing or if it is just that rare.
I'm currently working my way through online sources and libraries, but its been slow going. Any help on locating any of these would be absolutely appreciated, net54 always has fantastic info!! Thank you in advance!
Teams I am seeking include:
1920's-1940's Birmingham Barons
1920's-1940's Montgomery Grey Sox/Red Sox
Any era Mobile Tigers/Black Shippers
Gadsden Tigers
Tuskegee Tigers
Dothan Browns
Selma Black Cloverleafs
Any Negro Southern League team
Players I have been trying to locate include, bot limited to:
Johnny Washington (infielder, not the pitcher)
Doc Sykes
Sam Streeter
Dizzy Dismukes
Pepper Bassett
Howard Easterling
Poindexter Williams
Robert Poindexter
and many many more!
