I just picked up the below photo, which I believe to picture five members of the 1939 Newark Eagles (Negro League) team including Monte Irvin (second from right). Thus far, I am certain that the player all the way on the right is Len Pearson but am looking for help in identifying the other players.
(Individual photo on card to the right of the photo is Biz Mackey from the mid-1920's) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 03-12-2011 at 06:14 AM. |

Biz Mackey is listed as the manager of the Eagles in 1939. Could he be the guy in the middle?

Chris:
Good idea, I did not even think of Mackey as being part of that team. I just posted a card of him from the mid-1920's next to the photo, even though he would have been considerably younger, it does not appear to be him. I appreciate your effort though. |

Sorry, I should have mentioned that Irvin is the second player from the right.

My guess is a photo of the 1939 Newark Eagles, L-R (years on club); Lenny Pearson (w/ 1st baseman's glove, '37-'48), Leon Day ('36-'39), Ray Dandridge ('36-'39), Monte Irvin ('38-'42), & Biz Mackey ('39-'41). I am probably wrong.

Ty:
Thanks for the input, those are certainly the biggest names that played in Newark during that era but I am not sure if those ID's are correct |
