Comment on nigger island baseball team (2017-10-08 18:00:37)
Not sure about this particular photo, - need the names, or positive I.D.'s of some players in picture. May be another Nigger Island from somewhere else, or another state than the Kenton, Ohio area. - - Nigger Island near Kenton was a small village on an old drained swamp of very black earth, so named. And was just a few hundred yards of what later was called Jump. - jw -- p.s. I have a picture of the 1924 N.G. Champs,- and my Grandfather is in it.
