When the Negro National League was formed in Kansas City in 1920, a new chapter in sports history began. The city of Chicago played no small part in the creation and content of this historic chapter.
Black Baseball in Chicago chronicles the history of the teams and players that spent time in the Windy City. In 1911, the Chicago American Giants were born.
This team drew some of the best players from the league, including such legendary stars as Bruce Petway, Pete Hill, Grant Home Run Johnson, and future hall-of-famer John Henry Pop Lloyd. On any given Sunday afternoon, the Chicago American Giants games often outdrew those of the cross-town rivals, the White Sox and the Cubs.
