I agree with Jabez54. The stories, nicknames, and uniforms are what draws me to these Negro League/Barnstorming teams. Here are a couple of more you can try and/or research if you wish.
1) Harlem Stars- a barnstorming team in the 60's which was led by Goose Tatum and also featired Satchel Paige.
2) Kansas City All-Nations-team that toured the Midwest from 1912 to 1918, and again in 1920 and 1921, and from 1923 to 1925. It derived its name from the fact that its team included players of several nationalities, including blacks and whites, Indians, Hawaiians, Orientals, and Latin Americans.
3) Harrisburg Giants-a team based out of Harrisburg, PA. A member of the Eastern Colored League and American Negro League.
4) Bismark Churchills-the first ever integrated semi-professional baseball team based in Bismark, North Dakota in the 1930s. Led by Satchel Paige, Moose Johnson, and Double Duty Radcliffe, the club won the 1935 national semi-pro baseball tournament in Wichita, Kansas.
