Philadelphia Tigers

Philadelphia Tigers

The Philadelphia Tigers were a Negro League baseball team that played briefly in the 1928 Eastern Colored League before the circuit disappeared in early June due to an alleged outbreak of influenza of unknown origins. The Tigers, organized by Smittie Lucas, featured a few well-known east coast players, such as Bill Yancey, George Johnson, and McKinley Downs, but no real stars.

After the ECL fell apart, the Tigers struggled on as a marginal independent team into July before calling it quits.
