Annual Classic Inspires League
Larry Lester’s Black Baseball’s National Showcase has had a major influence on how I set up the league. The book is a treasure trove of information in text and images.
The book excels in its breakdown of each season’s prized East-West All-Star game held in Chicago. Each chapter starts with snippets of what was happening socially, economically, the state of the negro leagues, and other pertinent pieces of information for that year starting in 1933. The focus then shifts to the players involved in that year’s game. The book uses pieces from the actual newspapers from around the country covering the game. Box scores, at times play-by-play, and images from that season.
A lion’s share of the players in the Strat-o-Matic negro league all-star roster is sprinkled throughout the chapters. You can read many books about the negro leagues, but to have a book that shows when the players competed against each other in an actual all-star game lineup is invaluable.
The Midwest Six Negro League takes place in Chicago. All games are played at Comiskey Park with rosters that encompass some of the best negro league players of all time. The league will consist of six teams in two divisions (North and South). Each team will consist of 19 players with nine pitchers and multiple players that pitch as well as field a normal lineup spot.
I will have daily writeups for each league day and will post box scores that include what happened batter by batter.
