[LansdowneSt]

Edgar Wesley was a power-hitting lefty of the 1920s who hit over .400 in two seasons and was at or near the top of the HR leader list from 1920-25. In addition to his power, he hit for average, was renowned at first base, good on the basepaths and well regarded for his quiet demeanor. In the summer of 1923, he participated in a three-game exhibition where the Detroit Stars took on the St. Louis Browns. In the first game he hit two HRs including a walk-off in the 16th against Dave Danforth. After Detroit took two of three, Commissioner Landis barred future games between the then-MLB teams and NeL teams to avoid future embarrassment. - Negro Leaguers and the Hall of Fame, Steven Greenes
