1933 NEGRO LEAGUES for HISTORYMAKER BASEBALL 1933 was a very important year in Negro League Baseball history. After years with no real organized league, Gus Greenlee undertook to create the Negro National League. It was not without some problems. The Indianapolis A.B.C.s moved to Detroit due to low attendance. Cole’s American Giants could not secure a home field in Chicago, and then moved to Indianapolis. The Homestead Grays were expelled at midseason, charged with raiding other teams for players. The Columbus Blue Birds, in trouble from the outset, tried to move to Cleveland and Akron, both with no success, and did not finish the league. The Cuban Stars were admitted for the second half of the season, but did not play a single game. In the end, the American Giants finished with the best record of the clubs that completed the campaign, but the Pittsburgh Crawfords (owned by NNL President Greenlee) were declared champions. Some well-organized Negro “major league” teams did not attempt to play in the league, preferring to stay independent; they are included in the set. In addition – perhaps for the first time in any baseball board game – the House of David is included. Known for their full beards, organized by a religious sect based in Benton Harbor, Mich., teams from the House of David spent the summer barnstorming, playing nearly 200 games each year, some against white Major League teams as well as Negro League teams. ROSTERS: Negro National League rules limited teams to 14 players. As a result, many pitchers were known for playing in the field, and vice versa. There is no record as to how roster sizes were administered. A number of players spent the season playing for two or three teams. Additional cards indicating their later teams are included; the set is created as of the start of the 1933 season. All statistics are based on the 1933 season. BUNT SINGLES: Bunting for base hits was an important facet of Negro League Baseball. Some players are given special ratings – if indicated, for all results including double-1 (1-1-x), and also in some cases double-2 (2- 2-x), if the final play result is a single (to the outfield), it is instead a bunt single, all runners advance one base. FIELDING: Negro League fielders were charged with considerably more errors than the Major League average. To increase the number of errors, you can change the following play readings in the FIELDER column: 1-3-3 Outfield DRAMA! 2-3-5 Infield DRAMA! 2-4-4 GO to pull field (2B/SS) 2-6-6 FO to pull field (LF/RF) If you believe, as some research suggests, that Negro League fielders were as accomplished as their Major League counterparts, and that the increased errors were due more to low-quality fields and official scoring standards of the day, ignore those changes. You can also maintain the same fielding ratings if playing Negro League vs. Major League teams – the results should be satisfactory. NIGHT GAMES: Major League Baseball was still two years away from night baseball, but the Negro Leagues had discovered it. With their portable lighting system, the Kansas City Monarchs (and the House of David) brought night games across North America. In addition, Greenlee Field in Pittsburgh had lights added for 1933. However, the lights were certainly rudimentary at best – especially with the generator-run portable system. To simulate those effects, for all night games: ALL pitchers are FLASH (FLASH pitchers can be DB FLASH) Any roll including double-1 or double-2 (so, 1-1-x, 2-2-x); where the final result is a POP OUT or FLY OUT, roll DECIDER die o if BULLET, ball lost above lights, single for batter, all runners advance 1 base (2 bases if 2 out). UMPIRING: Umpires in the Negro Leagues were notorious, according to the newspaper accounts of the day. Often, the umpires were hired by the home team – and their calls went accordingly. No individual umpires are included given lack of information, but before each game, roll on the following chart for each umpire (one behind the plate, one on the bases): 1-2 All calls in HOME TEAM “favor”, umpire is ●RESPECTED, ●LENIENT. All calls in VISITING TEAM “favor”, umpire is ●QUESTIONABLE, ●STRICT 3 Umpire is QUESTIONABLE 4 Umpire is ●QUESTIONABLE 5 Umpire is ●QUESTIONABLE, ●STRICT 6 Umpire is ●QUESTIONABLE, ●LENIENT PRIMARY LINEUPS Pittsburgh Crawfords Cole’s American Giants Detroit Stars Nashville Elite Giants Cool Papa Bell, mf Turkey Stearnes, mf Jerry Benjamin, lf Bill Wright, rf John Henry Russell, 2b Alec Radcliffe, 3b (3) Granville Lyons, 1b Felton Stratton, ss Oscar Charleston, 1b Steel Arm Davis, lf (7) Wade Johnston, mf Sam Bankhead, mf Josh Gibson, c Nat Rogers, rf Bill Gill, 3b Tommie Dukes, c Judy Johnson, 3b Mule Suttles, 1b George Mitchell, rf Felton Snow, 3b Ted Page, rf Willie Wells, ss (2) Ray Dandridge, ss Jim West, 1b Jimmie Crutchfield, lf Jack Marshall, 2b Rainey Bibbs, ss (7) Goose Curry, lf Clarence Lewis, ss Larry Brown, c Spoony Palm, c Sammy T.

Held at Comiskey Park in Chicago, the teams were chosen through voting in the two leading black newspapers, the Pittsburgh Courier and Chicago Defender. As a result, the teams were heavily dominated by players from the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Chicago American Giants.

    Negro Leaguers in Service If They Can Fight and Die on Okinawa and Guadalcanal in the South Pacific, They Can Play Baseball in America

    Issue 37 July 2015 Negro Leaguers in Service If they can fight and die on Okinawa and Guadalcanal in the South Pacific, they can play baseball in America. Baseball Commissioner AB "Happy" Chandler This edition of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter is dedicated to all the African- American baseball players who served with the armed forces during World War II. More than 200 players from baseball’s Negro Leagues entered military service between 1941 and 1945. Some served on the home front, while others were in combat in Europe, North Africa and the Pacific. These were the days of a segregated military and life was never easy for these men, but, for some, playing baseball made the summer days a little more bearable. Willard Brown and Leon Day (the only two black players on the team) helped the OISE All-Stars win the European Theater World Series in 1945, Joe Greene helped the 92nd Infantry Division clinch the Mediterranean Theater championship the same year, Jim Zapp was on championship teams in Hawaii in 1943 and 1944, and Larry Doby, Chuck Harmon, Herb Bracken and Johnny Wright were Midwest Servicemen League all- stars in 1944. Records indicate that no professional players from the Negro Leagues lost their lives in service during WWII, but at least two semi-pro African-American ballplayers made the ultimate sacrifice. Grady Mabry died from wounds in Europe in December 1944, and Aubrey Stewart was executed by German SS troops the same month. With Brown and Day playing for the predominantly white OISE All-Stars, Calvin Medley pitching for the Fleet Marine Force team in Hawaii, and Don Smith pitching alongside former major leaguers for the Greys in England, integrated baseball made its appearance during the war years and quite possibly paved the way for the signing of Jackie Robinson.

    Washington, Dc and the Mlb All-Star Game

    TEAM UP FEBRUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 WASHINGTON, DC AND THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is also known as the “Midsummer Classic.” The game features the best players in the National League (NL) playing against the best players in the American League (AL). Fans choose the starting lineups; and a combination of players, coaches, and managers choose the rest of the players on the All-Star rosters. The game is played every year, usually on the second or third Tuesday in July. The very first All-Star Game was on July 6, 1933, at the home of the Chicago White Sox. Only two times since then has the game not been played — in 1945 due to World War II travel restrictions, and 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nationals Park and Washington, DC were at the center of the baseball universe in July 2018, serving as host of the 89th Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Remember all those festivities? This may come as a surprise, but that was actually the fifth time the All-Star Game was played in DC. Here is a little bit about each of the All-Star Games played in the Nation’s Capital. JULY 7, 1937 The 1937 Midsummer Classic, which was the fifth Major League Baseball All-Star Game, was played on July 7, at Griffith Stadium. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in attendance, making this the first All-Star Game to be played in front of a current President. The American League won the game 8-3, improving to 4 wins and 1 loss in the five games.

From 1920 into the 1950s, summer Sundays in parts of Kansas City revolved around Black baseball games. Families dressed in their best. Crowds by the thousands gravitated to the stadium. Fans watched their Kansas City Monarchs play the Chicago American Giants, the Homestead Grays, or the Newark Eagles. It was more than a joyful day out at the ballgame. It was a celebration. That scene captures the excitement of the "Negro Leagues," as they were known at the time. In that era, segregation policies blocked Black citizens from enjoying many aspects of American life.

The financial fortunes of the Negro Leagues would ebb and flow over the next three decades. But their popularity and high-level of play stayed strong. Between World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), baseball's place as America's national pastime was indisputable. The segregated Major Leagues fielded Hall of Fame legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Dazzy Vance.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

    Forgotten Heroes: William Bell by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel and Luis Munoz Copyright 2014 Kansas City Monarchs (1924) Negro National League and Negro League World Series Champions ((Lemuel Hawkins, William Bell, Clifford Bell, Carroll “Dink” Mothel, Frank Duncan (Sr.), William “Plunk” Drake, George Sweatt and Homer “Hop” Bartlett) (Jack Marshall, Hurley McNair, Newt Joseph, Harold “Yellowhorse” Morris, Oscar “Heavy” Johnson, Newt Allen, Wilber “Bullet” Rogan, Jose Mendez and Walter “Dobie” Moore) William Bell, Sr. was born on August 31, 1897 in Lavaca County, Texas. He stood 5’ 11” tall and weighed 180 pounds during his playing career. Bell was a right-handed pitcher who was one of the best pitchers in Negro League baseball during the 1920’s. On the mound he was known for his consistency, excellent control and ability to paint the corners. William had command of a wide range of pitches. He had an active fastball that moved in on the hitter, a very good curve ball, a good change-up and slider. During the 1920’s he was a workhorse for the Kansas City Monarchs during their championship seasons. Bell was also known for completing what he started during his career. Our research has revealed that he completed over 75 % of the games he started. In addition William Bell had a reputation for always being able to deliver in the clutch and under pressure. During his career he was occasionally called on to play in the outfield because he was a decent hitter and very good fielder. He had his best two years at the plate in 1929 when he hit .296 and 1932 when he batted .295.

In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6” x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.
