1937 Dominican Republic Championship: Ciudad Trujillo vs. Aguilas Cibaenas.

Rafael Trujillo was a brutal dictator who overthrew the Dominican government in 1930, and stayed in power until he was assassinated in 1961. During his reign of terror, Trujillo amassed tremendous wealth by stealing from his countrymen, and he ordered thousand of black Haitians killed.

In 1937, Trujillo's popularity among his constituents was ebbing, so he thought that winning the Dominican Republic's baseball championship might make him more popular. He sent a representative to the United States with a suitcase of money to get the necessary players to win the championship. The representative approached Satchel Paige and said, "Here's some money. Take whatever you want, and buy the services of whatever other players you need to win."

Paige brought a few of his Negro League cronies to the island, but didn't realize until after they lost a few games how serious this baseball was! Paige then contacted Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell and others to bolster the lineup and the Ciudad Trujillo Dragons (Trujillo had changed the name of Santa Domingo to "the city of Trujillo) began to win. Trujillo's soldiers surrounded the field for every game, and the team was told, in no uncertain terms, that they better win...or else!

The Dragons made it to the championship game against a team featuring Martin Dihigo, Chet Brewer, Dave "Showboat" Thomas and Clarence Palm. This game will go down in history as one of the greatest and most pressure-filled contest in baseball history!

1934 Integrated North Dakota Stars versus Jimmie Foxx's All-Stars

In 1934, North Dakota put together an all-star team made up of the best players from teams in Bismarck, Jamestown and Valley City. Jimmie Foxx and fellow stars Heinie Manush, Pinky Higgins and Ted Lyons would never look at semipro baseball the same way again!
   

Coming Soon!

National Semipro Championship Game, 1935
This tournament was started in '35 and continues today--it's now called the National Baseball Congress Championship.
