-St. Louis Globe-Democrat, April 13, 1884


I had never heard of the Metropolitans before so I was excited to see this.  With the popularity of baseball in St. Louis on the increase in 1884, I expect to see an increase in the coverage of black baseball in the Globe.  At least that's what I'm hoping for.
