Cleveland Cubs (Baseball team)

Biography"The CLEVELAND CUBS were a Negro League baseball team in Cleveland in 1931 and 1932. Even though they were hampered by disarray in the Negro Leagues and the crumbling economy, the Cubs managed the best record for a pre-World War II Cleveland Negro League team at 29 wins and 24 losses in 1931. The team played a great deal of its games at Kinsman Hardware Field, a small venue that only held a few thousand fans. The Cubs boasted a young pitcher named LEROY ROBERT "SATCHEL" PAIGE on their roster for the 1931 season."--https://case.edu/ech/articles/c/cleveland-cubs
