    T H E D O N A L D S O N N E T W O R K johndonaldson.bravehost.com An Analysis of the 1952 Pittsburgh Courier Negro League Baseball Poll by Fredrico © 2009 J. Fred Brillhart ( aka - Fredrico ) On Saturday April, 19, 1952 the Pittsburgh Courier Newspaper of Pittsburgh, PA published a poll derived from ballots cast by a panel of experts of Negro League Baseball. In 1998 in Harrisburg,PA at the first National SABR Negro League Conference I gave a presentation about this poll that won the prize for the best presentation at that con- ference. Much of the following is based on the initial research done for that presentation. Some new information has come to light since that time and I hope this piece helps clear up misconceptions about this poll that have spread through the Negro League research com- munity over the years. The reason I feel this poll is so important is that the 31 experts that voted are some of most astute baseball men of that time and had eye witness first hand knowledge of many of the Negro League baseball players they were voting on. They lived it ! They were there ! Granted they didn’t have the statistical analysis of modern saber- metrics to guide them and there are mostly likely cases of personal bias involved in some of the votes cast. There are some that have said that the poll had an eastern bias and had overlooked some of the players in the west and I will address that issue later.

    Fences Educational Tools Penumbra Theatre Study Guide Greetings! Thank you for visiting Penumbra Theatre Company’s Study Guide Library. We are so pleased that you seek to extend and engage your understanding of the drama we produce and the thematic issues it brings to the fore. Penumbra Theatre Company occupies a very unique place within American society, and by extension of that, the world. Penumbra was borne out of the Black Arts Movement, a time charged by civic protest and community action. An artist making art by, for and about the black community was charged with merging aesthetic (artistic) principles with ethical (moral) ones. Subsequently, in this historical and political context, art had an agenda to strive toward social change. African American artists were part of, and greatly influenced, the social currents that carried people from their homes, schools and places of worship to the streets. Bonding artistic interpretation with civic responsibility engenders an important kind of creative dissonance, a harmony of balance. It creates something neither art nor civic action could do alone. This is mission driven art, informed by a black ethos and aesthetic, which can adequately illuminate our experience. Ensemble Theatre in that context is the creation of a community of people committed to the telling of a story that acknowledges the experience of everyone involved. This kind of art demands that each audience member recognize his or her place in relation to the art. When that happens, we begin to think about ourselves as interactive forces in a greater social context. Our own agency becomes clearer to us; our choices and reactions start to make sense within a broader, more nuanced environment.

  • 1933 Negro Leagues Teams
    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.

  • Forgotten Heroes
    Forgotten Heroes: Oliver “The Ghost” Marcelle by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel and Luis Munoz Copyright 2012 Atlantic City Bacharach Giants The Atlantic City Bacharach Giants were formed in 1916 when the Duval Giants of Jacksonville, Florida moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Bacharach Giants played an independent schedule until they joined the Eastern Colored League in 1923. They played in the Eastern Colored League until it was disbanded in 1928. Atlantic City was the Eastern Colored League champion in 1926 and 1927. The Bacharach Giants played in the American Negro League in 1929, its only year in existence. Oliver “The Ghost” Marcelle played third base for the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants from 1920 to 1921 and from 1925 to 1928. Atlantic City Bacharach Giants (1921) (Standing left to right – Unknown, Dick “Cannonball” Redding, Maurice Busby, McDonald, William “Zack” Pettus, Jess Barbour, Elias “Country” Brown and Unknown Middle row left to right - Oliver “The Ghost” Marcelle, Jimmy Fuller, James “Yank” Deas, John Conners (owner), Frank Harvey, Andrew “String bean” Williams and Johnny Pugh Front row left to right – Julio Rojo, George Shively and Dennis Graham) Oliver Hazzard “The Ghost” Marcelle (also found with the spelling Marcel and Marcell) was born on June 21, 1895 along the banks of Bayou Lafourche in Thibodaux, Louisiana to Daniel and Eliza Marcelle. The date of birth presented here corresponds to the birthdate listed on his World War I Draft Registration Card and his 1929 United States Passport Application. It is open to some controversy because several other resources (Baseball Reference, MLB profiles and Negro League researcher James Riley) list June 1, 1895 or June 24, 1897 as his birthday.
