I've got some old scorebooks that include games played by lower level white teams against some of the Negro League (and pre-Negro League) teams. They include the 1895 Cuban Giants (with Frank Grant), the 1905 Cuban Giants and the 1928 Brooklyn Royals. I've also got a scorebook that contains Satchel Paige's first Major League win.

Also have this c. late 1890's cabinet card of an unknown Cuban X-Giant's player. Interesting to note that the photographer's backdrops consist of what look like shower curtains in what was surely a very low-rent studio (no photographer's imprint on the back).
