1931 World Series
Not only did this series feature the dominant Homestead Grays and Kansas City Monarchs, but many believe the 1931 Homestead Grays are among the greatest teams, black or white to ever play. The 1931 Homestead Grays boasted six Hall-of-Fame players and a Hall-of-Fame owner. The players were catcher Josh Gibson, first baseman Oscar Charleston, third baseman Jud Wilson, and pitchers Smokey Joe Williams, Willie Foster, and Satchel Paige. The Hall-of-Fame owner was Cum Posey.
