League: Negro National League
History: Today, everyone knows the Phillies, who’ve been around more than a century. Philadelphia baseball aficionados also know the Athletics, who moved away to Kansas City and then landed in Oakland. But the city of brotherly love was also home to another pennant-winning team: the Philadelphia Stars. Locked out of the mainstream, the Stars attracted elite players when Black baseball talent was barred from the majors. The club won the Negro National League championship in 1934, and featured some of the greatest ever to suit up — Hall of Famers like five-time All-Star Biz Mackey, and Jud Wilson.
