By Steven Speed (Sspeed) on Tuesday, June 8, 1999 – 07:12 pm:
I'm trying to find info on teams who had a franchise in Cincinnati and what league,standings and stats are available.

I can only be a little help here. I know Cincinnati had a team called the Tigers. The Clowns also played out of Cincinnati before going to Indianapolis. I think there was also a team called the Browns. If you can obtain access to Riley's Biographical Encyclopedia of Negro League Baseball, I'm sure you'd be able to find some information there. The SABR Negro Leagues Book would also be another good place to start.

Maybe I can add another team to the list. There was a team named the Buckeyes in 1942 before moving to Cleveland

There were also some strong Negro semipro teams in Cinc. that played pro teams. There are several Negro leagues players still living there who could help youwith this.

Has anyone ever heard of the Crosleys playing at Crosley Field? Supposed to be a Negro League (Maybe semi-pro)from the 1940's. The jersey I have reference to had the name Crosleys on it and a large "R" on the breast. Any help would be appreciated….
