Leon Diggs played for the Indianapolis Clowns in 1953. One source says he was an outfielder. The photo is from the Marshfield (WI) News-Herald of June 10, 1953. That source says he played 2B for the Clowns and for the Memphis Red Sox. He appears to be pictured in the uniform of the Pittsburgh Crawfords. Another player whose photo is presented on the same page, Harold Johnson, was a former member of the Pittsburgh Crawfords, and is shown in the same uniform. The two were currently playing for the New York Harlem Yankees.

Leon Diggs was the nephew of Bunny Downs, well-known Negro Leagues player and manager of the Indianapolis Clowns.
