Under Taylor's leadership the ABCs became charter members of the Negro National League and fielded a team each year from 1920 to 1926. After Taylor's death in 1922, his wife tried to run the team with C.I.'s brother Ben at the helm, but wholesale defection of players to the new Eastern Colored League and a misunderstanding that led Ben also to take a managerial position in the East led to financial difficulties for Mrs. Taylor, and the team was disbanded.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_15\"\u003eIn later years, a different franchise under new ownership but bearing the same name entered into league play in 1931-33, and again in 1938-1939 in the Negro American League.

Dr. Bob and I shared a deep interest in the Negro Leagues and he graciously introduced me to an old ball player named Leon Day. I spent quite a few hours in his baseball room where he would tell me about all the great players he once shared the field with, yet never revealing any details of his own career. It was only after some newspaper research that I realized this modest and kindly old man I called a friend was in fact blackball’s most complete ball player!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeon Day got his start in his hometown of Baltimore as one of Laymon Yokely’s protégés. He had a screaming fastball and a sharp curve delivered from the stretch which made him the ace of the Newark Eagles by the age of 19. In 1937 he won 13 league games without a defeat and by the time he entered the Army in 1943 his Negro National League record stood at a staggering 45-8.The Newark Eagles boasted five future Hall of Famers yet Leon Day was considered the team’s best clutch hitter. On the days he wasn’t on the mound he could be found in the outfield to take advantage of his arm or at any of the infield positions. He was known as a fast base runner and teammates all said he had the best singing voice in the league; Leon Day was as complete a ballplayer as you’d want.While in the Army he pitched his team to the 1945 European Championship and returned home in time to pitch a no-hitter on the first day of the 1946 season. Day went 13-4 and led Newark to the Negro World Championship. He played minor league ball before retiring in 1955. The 7-time All-Star holds the single-game strikeout record for the Negro National League, Puerto Rican Winter League and the East-West All-Star Game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy old friend Leon passed away on March 14, 1995, just four days after being informed he’d been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Four months later, Leon Day’s wife, Geraldine Day spoke on her late husband’s behalf at the 1995 Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown – “We will carry your spirit” – and carry on she did! In 1997 Leon Day Park opened, and four years later Geraldine Day founded The Leon Day Foundation, Inc. “To promote self-awareness and lifelong learning for all ages through organized sports, resources, and educational programs; while preserving the legacies of Leon Day and the Negro League by giving recognition and exposure to a group of talented baseball players that were forgotten and never acknowledged.”Today, the Leon Day Foundation is committed to creating opportunities for inner-city kids to engage in baseball in Baltimore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough signature programs such as the Leon Day Youth League, Sandlot Saturdays, Baseball Tuesdays, the Leon Day Classic, the Leon Day Festival, the Leon Day 10th Man Award, and most recently, a youth league team in the James Mosher Baseball Youth League, the foundation strives to positively impact the lives of children and their families in Baltimore city.I designed this shirt as a tribute not only to my old friend Leon’s Hall of Fame career, but also to the hundreds of kids he inspired in the years since his passing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOfficially Licensed by Gary Joseph Cieradkowski.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Officially Licensed","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Adult S \/ T-Shirt","offer_id":41470721720514,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Adult M \/ T-Shirt","offer_id":41470721818818,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Adult L \/ T-Shirt","offer_id":41470721786050,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Adult XL \/ T-Shirt","offer_id":41470721753282,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Adult 2X \/ T-Shirt","offer_id":41470721851586,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Adult 3X \/ T-Shirt","offer_id":41470721687746,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Adult 4X \/ T-Shirt","offer_id":41470721884354,"sku":"","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/0625\/1202\/products\/LDFM_Front_NoBackground.png?v=1647756484"},{"product_id":"baltimore-black-sox-unisex-t-shirt","title":"Baltimore Black Sox Uniform - Unisex T-Shirt","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan’t make it to the Museum this year - you can now purchase a shirt with the official NLBM Logos right here!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #212b36; font-family: montserrat, sans-serif;\" color=\"#212b36\" face=\"montserrat, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBaltimore Black Sox\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe Black Sox became charter members of the Eastern Colored League before joining the American Negro League and winning the pennant in 1929. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1934 Jack Farrell, a black businessman from Pennsylvania took the team name for his franchise and entered the Negro National League for the second half of the season.

Homestead was a steel mill town, and the workers at the U.S. Steel mill formed a baseball team for weekend recreation. Posey, a former football player and basketball star at Penn State University, was a railway mail worker and joined the steelworkers to play for the team. Playing on West Field in Homestead. the team began also playing twilight games during the week in addition to weekends. New players kept joining the team, and their reputation increased to the point of their becoming the leading attraction in the tri-state area. At first they added a little comedy to the game to enhance their appeal as a good gate attraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_15\"\u003eSoon after Posey started handling the team, it became a full-time job. He booked all the leading teams around the Pittsburgh area and, with the Grays playing as an independent team, made a good profit every year from 1912 to 1929. They joined the American Negro League in 1929, but the league lasted only one year. The next two seasons the Grays fielded its strongest teams since the franchise's inception, winning eastern championships both seasons. The 1931 club is called by many the greatest black team of all time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_15\"\u003eBut when the Depression hit in the thirties, there were some lean years for the Grays, and Gus Greenlee took advantage of Posey's economic situation to lure some of his best players to the Pittsburgh Crawfords. With no league in the East and the collapse of the Negro National League in the West, in 1932 Cum Posey organized the East-West League, but it didn't even last the year and folded in June.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_15\"\u003eIn 1933 the Negro National league reorganized, and a year later, with Posey forming a partnership with Rufus \"Sonnyman\" Jackson to bring some money back to the organization, the Grays entered the Negro National League as associate members and became full members the following year, fielding a team each year until the league folded after the 1948 season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_15\"\u003eDuring this time the Grays dominated the league, building a dynasty around the power tandem of Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard, dubbed the \"thunder twins\" and also called the black Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig by the media. The Grays won nine consecutive Negro National League pennants, 1939-1945, and also annexed the last flag in 1948. During this time they also played in five of the seven World Series played between the Negro National League and the Negro American League, including the first and the last of these Series. They lost the first Series to the Kansas City Monarchs in 1942 and lost to the Cleveland Buckeyes in 1945, but defeated the Birmingham Black Barons in each of the other three Series, in 1943-1944 and 1948. After the league broke up the Grays continued to play for two more years as an independent team, playing against lesser opposition, but disbanded after the 1950 season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_15\"\u003eSource: James A.
