Montgomery Grey Sox

Montgomery Grey Sox

The Montgomery Grey Sox were a Negro Southern League (NSL) baseball team based in Montgomery, Alabama. While the NSL was regarded as a minor league throughout most of its existence, with the collapse of the first Negro National League in 1932, the league is considered a major league for that one season.

In 1920 the Grey Sox made it into the league pennant race with a 3-0 perfect game win over Atlanta.[1] When the NSL became a major league for one year in 1932, Montgomery finished last at 9-20.
