This team has an interesting story to it. the Grove All-Stars, were organized among prisoners of the North Dakota State Penitentiary. The team included black players. The Grove All-Stars played games in many nearby towns until a couple of prisoners took advantage of that freedom and ran off. After that, the All-Stars played only on prison grounds. Negro leaguer, Barney Brown (whom played for several Negro League teams and also played in several famed East-West games) also played some games with this team. Even though he was not a prisoner himself.
