This map, from Bill Turianski, circa 2007, is a neat view of the Negro League presence across the country, with “callouts” off to each side about each club. I’m partial to the Homestead Grays, who played in Pittsburgh as well as Washington DC and won 10, count em’, 10 Negro National League Championships, and 3 Negro Word Series Titles.
What I like about this map are the hand drawn logos for each club that give the map a unique look and feel. Overall just a cool picture of a valuable part of American sports and social history.
