Negro League Soul:1903-04 Championship Series Cuban X Giants v Phil Giants

In a pair of series in 1903 & 1904 the Cuban X-Giants and Philadelphia Giants clashed for what was then called the Colored Championship of Baseball (Ed. note: we can change that to read the Championship of Black Baseball if preferred – I never know how to comfortably use the language of the day). The two heavyweights of Black baseball featured all the brightest stars of the day, including Home Run Johnson, Sol White, Frank Grant, and Andrew Foster, a young pitcher who’d recently acquired a nickname by defeating major league star Rube Waddell.

The 2023 programs will continue to highlight how these experiences reflect American society and culture in general, to bring awareness to how the past is always with us – to teach us, and to provide inspiration and encouragement to those facing similar challenges today.
We are thankful to the Cuyahoga County Arts and Culture Council for funds to support our efforts. As a result all programs are free.

Donations to support the community and youth efforts of the Community Cup Classic Foundation are welcome .
