James Gurley

James Gurley was the name used for this player in THE NEGRO LEAGUES BOOK by Dick Clark and Larry Lester. The caption to this photo, found in Phil Dixon's THE NEGRO BASEBALL LEAGUES: A PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY, calls him George Gurley. Seamheads.com, using a head shot of the same photo, says he is Earl Gurley.

By whatever first name, he was a versatile player who pitched and played the outfield and first base during his lengthy career in the Negro Leagues spanning from 1922 to 1932. Over that time, he was on seven different teams, topped by 84 games with the Memphis Red Sox. He is shown here with the Chicago American Giants.
