The 1928 Negro Leagues – The Two Leagues


Rickwood Field – Still used today
"Teams ordered roughly by their league success, except for Homestead, which never joined the ECL, but remained independent, playing mostly semi-pro teams while barnstorming through Pennsylvania. However, Homestead did also play against most of the ECL teams and some NNL teams, and was definitely a top caliber major eastern team. The Cuban Stars were a traveling team, with no home city in the U.S. The Brooklyn Royal Giants were effectively a traveling team also, as owner Nat Strong’s white semi-pro Bushwicks team received most of the home dates at Brooklyn’s Dexter Park.'
