I am seeking information on Thomas "Pinky" Lee. He was a member of the Philadelphia hilldales or other Philadelphia team. I have a copy of an old newspaper article and photo of him in a group. This information would greatly help me as I put together a family tree for my children and now grandchild. You see, "Pinky" Lee is/was my grandfather and I have never met him.

I am looking for help in determining whether any former Negro League players were from New England – specifically Rhode Island or Massachusetts. Any information – simply names, or contact info would be greatly appreciated. A local minor league team would like to hold a tribute night for the negro leagues and include some local players.
