“By 1924, Negro League Baseball was the third-largest black-owned business in America behind North Carolina Mutual Insurance and Madam C.J. Walker’s company. In 1924, they drew over 400,000 fans. In New York, they were drawing 40 to 50,000; the Brooklyn Dodgers were drawing 12 to 13,000.” www.feoa.info
