Report

The Colored World Series was not played from 1929 to 1936. The American Negro League reappeared in 1929, although with the effects of the Great Depression, Both the Negro National League and Negro American League had disbanded in 1932 to be replaced for that year only by the East-West League and the Southern Negro League. The Southern Negro League had a team called the Little Rock Travelers, from Arkansas. The conditions of Irish Travelers has often been compared to that of African-Americans. In 1933 the Negro National League returned, although there was still no Colored World Series as the American Negro League did not reappear until 1937.

With Segregation in American Sport as with practically all parts of US Society at the time, the top African-American Sportsmen played in the Negro Leagues as they called themselves at the time. These Baseball Leagues were the National Basketball Association of the time, equal with the Major Leagues as we know them today, although excluded from playing from them due to their skin colour, race or ethnic background.

From interviews with fans conducted by Dick Clark and Larry Lester of the Society for American Baseball Research it can be seen that they saw the Leagues as Eastern and Western Leagues, even though most Leagues went by the name Negro National League and American Negro League. The Statistics gleaned from what was reported in the newspapers give only a partial record, and show the top players were the equal of the top players in Major League Baseball at the time, something which has been recognised recenltly (2021) by MLB.

The term Negro for African-Americans has fallen out of favour in recent times, much like the term Tinker for Irish Travelers, whose conditions have often been compared to African-Americans. It has been kept here and by MLB to prevent re-writing of history.

There were many players with Irish surnames or family names on the teams, perhaps as many as two dozen in 1920 alone.

The Negro National League and American Negro League returned in 1933 and lasted until 1952 as Major Leagues (although only until 1946 are recognised as such by MLB when Jackie Robinson became the first ever African-American to play in Major League Baseball when he played for the Montreal Royals).

Report

Kansas City Monarchs won the Colored World Series in 1924, Hilldale in 1925 and Chicago American Giants in 1926 and 1927, the only years during this period it was played. There was no league in 1932, the most difficult year of the Great Depression.

There were many players with Irish surnames or family names on the teams, perhaps as many as two dozen in 1920 alone. Those who won the Colored World Series from 1924 to 1927 are listed below. Hurley McNair, Walter Moore, Harold Morris, and Wilber Rogan of Kansas City Monarchs in 1924, Luther Farrell of Hilldale in 1925, and George Harney of Chicago American Giants in 1926 and 1927.

Report

Regent’s Park Zoo Crew completed a quadruple in UK Softball in 1991, by winning the Men’s National Slowpitch Title, the Pre-Season first Ball Tournament, and the July Open Cup, and the Greater London Men’s Slowpitch League title. Seven team contested the Men’s National Finals – four from London (the Zoo Crew, the Bucs, the Raiders, and the Spankers) as well as teams from Bordon in Hapshire, Frome in Somerset, and Arundel in Sussex.

In Slowpitch Mixed Softball, The Meteors of London beat the Tequila Slammers of the Cuervo Adverstising Softball League (London). The Harvey Wallbangers (brother and sister team to the Slammers) defeated Isherwoods, Champions of the Wild Turkey Design League in the 3rd Place Playoff. The other teams in the nine-team tournament were Scorpions and Outlaws (Windsor), Wild Ones (Borden), Woodhouse Moor (Leeds), and Hit’n’Run and Nice Beaver from Bristol.

In Regional Softball, Elservier Smellysox, the holders, faltered at the end of the Oxford Softball League season, losing their last game to finish 10-1, and then getting knocked out of the playoffs. The Blackwells Beavers shocked the Pergamon Panthers in the Final 26-13.

Major League Baseball | 48 Irish Born MLB Players

Major League Baseball Logo [1]

[1]

48 Major League Baseball Players have been born in Ireland, from Andy Leonard, who left County Cavan as a baby during the famine, and was on the first professional Baseball team – the Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869 – to PJ Conlon, from Belfast, who became the first Major League Baseball player born in Ireland since 1945 when he pitched for the New York Mets in 2018.

A number of these players have Irish Baseball League Awards named after them.
