Ted Alexander pitched in the Negro Leagues from 1938 through 1948, mostly for the Kansas City Monarchs. He is shown with that team in a photo from BLACK BASEBALL IN KANSAS CITY, by Larry Lester and Sammy T. Miller.

Willie "Sug" Cornelius pitched in the Negro Leagues from 1929 through 1946, mostly for the Chicago American Giants. He appears with that team in this photo from Robert Retort's PICTORIAL NEGRO LEAGUE LEGENDS ALBUM.

"Goose" Curry played in the Negro Leagues from 1928 through 1947 mostly as an outfielder, but he pitched in a few games as well. He played the greatest number of games with the Philadelphia Stars. The team with his second most frequent appearances was the Baltimore Elite Giants. He appears here with the latter team in a photo from Robert Retort's PICTORIAL NEGRO LEAGUE LEGENDS ALBUM.

Bill Hoskins was an outfielder with the Baltimore Elite Giants from 1939 through 1946. The photo of him in an Elite Giants uniform comes from Robert Retort's PICTORIAL NEGRO LEAGUE LEGENDS ALBUM.

Felton Snow was a third baseman in the Negro Leagues from 1931 through 1947, playing mostly for the Baltimore Elite Giants. He is shown here in the uniform of that team in a photo from the Seamheads.com website.

Seamheads.com indicates that Bert Wakefield's Negro Leagues career was limited to two seasons of playing first base -- 1900 with the Chicago Unions and 1901 with the Chicago Union Giants. However, THE NEGRO LEAGUES BOOK, by Dick Clark and Larry Lester, showed a more expansive career for Wakefield, running from 1895 to 1902, with a 1915 appearance thrown in to boot. Additional teams included the Kansas City Giants, Salina and Emporia (Kansas State League), and Algone (IA) Brownies.

The photo comes from Seamheads.com, and shows Wakefield with the 1908 Kansas City Giants. The larger Kansas City team photo appears in Robert Retort's PICTORIAL NEGRO LEAGUE LEGENDS ALBUM. Retort obtained it from the Hall of Fame Library in Cooperstown.

George H. Wilson pitched for the Page Fence Giants in 1897 and the Chicago Columbia Giants in 1899 and 1900. The photo is from the Seamheads.com website, and I think the uniform shown is that of the Page Fence Giants.

Jim Brown was a catcher and first baseman with the Chicago American Giants from 1919 through 1937. Both photos show him with that team. The photo on the left is from the Seamheads.com website. The photo on the right is from Phil Dixon's THE NEGRO BASEBALL LEAGUES: A PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY.

Emmett "Scotty" Bowman pitched for the Cuban X Giants, Philadelphia Giants, and Chicago Leland Giants from 1904 through 1908. He is pictured here with the Royal Poinciana team in a photo from Sol White's HISTORY OF COLORED BASE BALL.

[Cusick]

Tom Glover pitched in the Negro Leagues from 1934 through 1945, spending the most time with the Baltimore Elite Giants. I think the symbol on the cap in the photo is a "G" and that the uniform therefore is of the Baltimore Elite Giants. The photo is from Seamheads.com.

John William "Johnny" Hayes was a catcher in the Negro Leagues from 1934 through 1948, playing with the New York Black Yankees, Newark Eagles, and Newark Dodgers. He appears here with the Newark Dodgers in a photo from Robert Retort's PICTORIAL NEGRO LEAGUE LEGENDS ALBUM.

[Cusick]

Bill Horne was a second baseman and shortstop in the Negro Leagues from 1938 through 1946, playing mostly for the Cleveland Buckeyes and Chicago American Giants. The word "Giants" may be read in the jerseys behind Horne in the photo, so it is assumed that he is wearing a Chicago American Giants uniform. The photo comes from the Seamheads.com website.

Dan Kennard was a catcher in the Negro Leagues from 1913 through 1925. He played mostly with the St. Louis Giants and Stars, but he was with the Indianapolis ABC's in 1915.

John Lyles played mostly shortstop (and a little second base) in a Negro Leagues career that lasted from 1932 to 1943. He enjoyed the greatest amount of playing time with the St. Louis-New Orleans-Harrisburg Stars. He appears here with the Chciago American Giants in a photo from Robert Retort's PICTORIAL NEGRO LEAGUE LEGENDS ALBUM.
