Roosevelt Lilly, P, is shown in the uniform of the Birmingham Black Barons. Although Lilly is not listed in the registers of either the Riley or the Clark/Lester books, I found a newspaper article which indicated that he was a representative of the Black Barons on the League All-Star team in post-season exhibition play against the Roy Campanella All-Stars in October, 1951.
I also found evidence of his pitching in relief in a regular season game against the Indianapolis Clowns in September. He was also selected for the pitching staff of the East-West Classic All-Star Game of the Negro Leagues in Comiskey Park in August.
