Bacharach Giants (Baseball team)

BiographyThe Bacharach Giants were a Negro league baseball team that played in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The club was founded when two African-American politicians moved the Duval Giants of Jacksonville, Florida, to Atlantic City in 1916 and renamed them after Harry Bacharach, the city's mayor. The Bacharachs became a top independent team within a few years, featuring shortstop Dick Lundy, third baseman Oliver Marcell, and the great pitchers Dick Redding and Jesse "Nip" Winters...The team disbanded after the 1929 season and its connection to Atlantic City ended."--Wikipedia
