Allen Page
Allen Page was an officer with the New Orleans Creoles and the vice president/treasurer of the Negro Southern League during the 1945-50 period. This photo is courtesy of his son, Rodney Page, and appeared on the following website -- homeplatedontmove.wordpress.com. A photo of Allen Page was previously posted on this thread on page 55, but this photo is an improvement.

Leroy Haynes
According to Seamheads, Leroy Haynes was born in 1914 in Kentucky and attended Morehouse College. He was profiled in multiple newspapers in the 1970s and 1980s detailing his career post World War II as the operator of a soul restaurant in Paris. This article from 1984 includes his 1914 birthdate and Kentucky birthplace. I found a clip from American Story with Bob Dotson profiling Haynes, and at the 1:43 mark Dotson says Haynes played in the Negro leagues.
He was shown many times as an older man, but I found a photo of him on the Morehouse football team in the Nov. 22, 1935 issue of the St. Louis Argus. Many more photos of him can be found online, including this site. I haven't found an obituary for him, but this June 29, 1986 Baltimore Sun article says he died in May 1986. |

Bob Harvey
Curious about this dude. In my 1944 Season sim, with the color line abolished, he was signed by the Phillies, and won the NL batting title with an average of .387. This is no doubt based on his reported average of .430 for the Newark Eagles, per Seamheads. By 1948, at the age of 30, he was done. There is no SABR bio for him, and I’m curious what the backstory might be. I play with annual recalc off, so he promises to be a productive player in MLB for many years. It seems like he may have been a victim of the failure, despite the signing of Jackie Robinson, of MLB teams to sign other worthy Negro League players. (It bothers me that many people seem to think that the problem of racism was “solved” in 1947, because a handful of black players came to the major leagues in the first few years. I have made a hobby of tracing legitimate Negro League stars who toiled in the minor leagues, in the late 1940’s and into the 1950’s, never getting a decent shot, despite tremendous stats.) A sad legacy.

Rube Wiggins 1938
Here's another player I had no photo previously. Wiggins played in and around Paterson, New Jersey for many years and was pictured in the 5/24/1938 edition of the Paterson News regarding his suspension that season. He pitched in 1 game for the 1938 New York Black Yankees.

Wyatt Turner 1939
Turner lived in and around Pittsburgh all his life so it was no surprise that the 1/25/1930 edition of the New Pittsburgh Courier pictured him on the occasion of his first marriage. He was a well known athlete and played in 1 game for the 1939 Homestead Grays as a catcher.

Forrest "One Wing" Maddox
Forrest Maddox was a pitcher and outfielder for the Birmingham Black Barons in 1923. An image of him was posted earlier in this thread, but it was an art drawing instead of an actual photo. This photo shows him with the Knoxville Giants.
