The Negro World Series was a post-season baseball tournament which was held from 1924-1927 and from 1942-1948 between the champions of the Negro leagues, matching the mid-western winners against their east coast counterparts. The series was also known as the Colored World Series, especially during the 1920s, and as the Negro League World Series, in more recent books, though contemporary black newspapers usually called it simply, the "World Series," without any modification. ==Colored World Series: Negro National League vs Eastern Colored League== After the organization of first Negro National League (NNL) in 1920 and of the Eastern Colored League (ECL) in 1923, many Negro league fans hoped that the two leagues would compete in a post-season championship similar to the World Series held by the white leagues. On September 2, 1924, Rube Foster, president of the NNL announced that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Commissioner of Baseball for the white major leagues, had been asked to arbitrate the differences between the NNL and the ECL and establish an agreement similar to the one used by the American and National Leagues. The proposed agreement required the two leagues to respect each other's contracts, made allowances for players who had jumped contracts to stay with their current teams, and for a post-season championship between the leagues. The first championship was between the Kansas City Monarchs of the NNL and the Hilldale Club of the ECL. In 1928, the ECL folded, with their teams returning to independent play, and the series entered a 15-year hiatus. The first NNL also folded after the 1931 season. *1924 Kansas City Monarchs NNL 5-4 Hilldale Club ECL *1925 Hilldale Club ECL 5-1 Kansas City Monarchs NNL *1926 Chicago American Giants NNL 5-3 Bacharach Giants ECL *1927 Chicago American Giants NNL 5-3 Bacharach Giants ECL 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Negro World Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
