  • John W. Connor Formed the Brooklyn Royal Giants in 1904
    Early Pioneers of the Negro Leagues JohnW.Connor by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2017 Brooklyn Royal Giants John W. Connor formed the Brooklyn Royal Giants in 1904. During their first two years the Royal Giants were a good team but did not play at the level that Connor wanted for his team. To take his team to the next level John Connor signed Grant “Homerun” Johnson away from the Philadelphia Giants. Johnson became his starting short stop and the team’s manager. Johnson responded to Connor’s confidence in him on the field by consistently being one of the team’s top hitters and playing flawless defense. In the dugout as the team’s manager, Grant Johnson provided the leadership that would transform the Brooklyn Royal Giants into the best black baseball club in the East. Along with hiring Grant Johnson in 1906, Connor also signed the following players who had a significant impact on improving the ball club: Bill Monroe (2B), Jack Emery (P) and Billy Holland (P/OF). Brooklyn Royal Giants (1906) (Back row standing left to right – Bill Merritt, James Robinson, Grant “Home Run” Johnson, Lefty “Pop” Andrews, Al Robinson, Harry Brown and Eugene Milliner. Front row seated left to right – Andrew “Jap” Payne, W. “Nux” James, John W. Connor, Billy Holland and Charles “Kid” Carter.) John W. Connor was born in Portsmouth, Virginia on December 26, 1878. Growing up in Portsmouth which was a port city and had a very large U.S. Navy population fostered an interest in the Navy in a young John Connor.

  • 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.
