When the Negro Leagues Played Through the Great Depression and WWII

The Negro Leagues struggled financially amid systemic racism and segregation-even before the Great Depression disproportionately devastated Black America. But the game's finest days-with transcendent stars like Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson-still lay ahead.

It was Satchel Paige to cool it off not Smokey Williams because he played before the great depression while the C. A.Giants (Lincoln Giants) were giving their outfielding show and little treats to anyone of their opponents or just for a good gift for the show or the All-stars of st.louis or the eastern All-stars of the 20's starting loius santop, Nip, Newt, etc etc to compare the game and people's to their depressions or him L.S., but something of that clue needing for a complete comfort there or home or the street of their team playing so it had to give something of a person out there or of the game to get out of the depression of game. But The earlier ones had got out of their way of something to the upcoming era or depression that came but it was the new era and players of then later that made up of earlier and newer players to have a team of All-stars players & the depressions while the real living people of regular duty or hand doing jobs was there to keep up for days then the life around & a game to watch once then or later...the depressions.....teach or study or learn...what's right or good ....then your own manner or keep a good health or physical when it is normal then it was from what race whore black or Hispanic there and around etc.
