Eight images of Negro League teams

Negro League baseball pins span the era when blacks were prohibited from playing on Major League teams, which ended in 1947. Most of the Negro League pins are from the 1930s and 1940s, although records indicate that Negro League baseball was played since at least the turn of the century. The story behind two of the Negro League baseball pins was presented in the November 2, 2013 column of baseballpinbackbuttons.wordpress.com.
