Negro Baseball Leagues - Professional Baseball Leagues 1937

Beginning in 1932, African-American baseball players tried to reestablish a league. The Negro National League (1933-1948) founded by W. A. “Gus” Greenlee and the Negro American League founded by H. G. Hall (1937-1960) emerged as the most important leagues in the last years of segregated baseball. In 1942, in the first Negro World Series since 1927, the Kansas City Monarchs (NAL), behind the pitching of Satchel Paige defeated the favored Homestead (Pittsburgh) Grays (NNL).
