The Laurel Black Cats are a semi-professional baseball team located in Queensburg, Laurel, Mississippi. One of Mississippi’s original Independent Negro League's charter franchises, the club was founded in 1932 by Dayton Hair. Negro Leaguers such as Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Satchel Paige, Piper Davis, Lester Lockett, Artie Wilson and Ed Steele are among the many players to play for the Black Cats. Games were held on Sundays always starting at 3:00 pm so that fans could attend after church. From the 30’s to 60‘s, the Black Cats home ballpark was Rahaim Park, located in the KC Community. In the 1990‘s, they moved to the Queensburg Community, where they currently remain today. The Black Cats have achieved widespread popularity and a dedicated fan base. Their rivalry with the Hattiesburg Black Sox is arguably the fiercest and most historic in the state of Mississippi semi- pro baseball. After sending several players to college and other Negro League franchises, the team was disbanded in 2006 but later returned in 2010 when former Jones County Jr. College assistant baseball coach Jody P. Babineaux took ownership and management of the club. ==Origins== In 1932, a local African American businessman by the name of Dayton Hair, whose business enterprises included real estate, insurance, rental collection agency, the Black Cat Inn and the Black Cat Taxi Service, ventured in sports by bringing James “Lefty” Bell to Laurel from Livingston, Alabama, and together they organized the Laurel Black Cats Baseball team. Hair drew players from all over the south exclusively to showcase their playing talent. He put together a formidable collection of all-black talent, including pitcher James “Lefty” Bell who established himself as one of the most popular stars of the Independent Negro League. Immediate contenders, the Black Cats became bitter rivals to the Hattiesburg Black Sox.
