The Monarchs were organized in 1920 by J.L. Wilkinson, the
only white owner in the league. It was one of baseball’s greatest teams. They
swept the 1942 World Series over the invincible Homestead Grays, who had six
consecutive Negro National League pennants. In 1924, the Monarchs defeated the Hilldale Giants from
Darby, PA in a thrilling 10-game series to capture the first Colored World
Series. This colorful team featured the great Wilber “Bullet” Rogan on the
mound, supported by the keystone combo of Newt Allen as second and Walter
“Dobie” Moore at short. Hefty hitters like Oscar “Heavy” Johnson, Hurley McNair
and George “Never” Sweatt wore this jersey. The Monarchs played in the Negro
National League from 1920-1930 and in the Negro American League from 1937-1960.
