Talk:East–West All-Star Game

Expansion

The full list of East-West All-Star teams and results form Appendix B of Peterson's Only The Ball Was White. I can find nothing about other Negro League All-Stars games or series. —Theo (Talk) 15:17, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

If it is not going to be expanded, I suggest merging it into Negro league baseball, where it would be more likely to be read. Put something on my talk page if this is a good idea, and I'll do the work. Chris the speller 21:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand the meaning of "He arranged for the fans to vote on the players that would participate and his original 1933 series grew into an annual tradition that continued until 1962." but I don't want to edit it because I genuinely don't understand it... 81.23.54.142 (talk) 22:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I've reworded it a bit. It seems that it may have been parts of two separate thoughts that were completed. -- Couillaud (talk) 14:59, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Cy Perkins

See the change I just made. The black Perkins apparently had a more distinguished career than his white counterpart. Check out his page at Pitch Black Baseball! He certainly deserves a wikipage. DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 17:02, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

1960 linescore

If anyone has a source to double check this, please verify the linescore for the 1960 game; below is what was listed in the article -- the scores do not add up:

• West 8 East 4
  • East 200 210 000 - 4 5 5
  • West 021 140 00X - 5 5 3

I found two reports of the game on ProQuest, the Chicago Daily Tribune and Daily Defender. I added the winning and losing pitchers, as well as the lone HR hit in the game. The "5 runs, 5 hits" should have been 8 and 8. -- Couillaud 05:38, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Need a few more linescores

I got all of the linescores from '33 until '48 (excluding '46) from Holway's Complete Book. We still need linescores for:

• 1946 game 1
• 1946 game 2
• 1949
• 1950

• 1951
• 1954
• 1955 (H & E only)

• 1956
• 1959
• 1962

If anyone wants to have a go at it, knock yourself out. Rgrds. --64.85.215.113 (talk) 14:36, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

The 1940s are covered. I got both games of 1946, plus added the second games of 1947 and 1948, and then got the one game in 1949. Also added time of game and attendance to each game. -- Couillaud 16:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

I am currently working my way through the games of the mid- and late-1950s. The book Black Baseball's National Showcase: The East-West All-Star Game, 1933-1953 by Larry Lester, will help with the games of that era, but I have to go through various historical newspapers via ProQuest to find data on the games after 1953. So far, the 1962 game may be the one for which the least information is available, having been played in Kansas City instead of Chicago or New York. FYI, 1962 was the very last East-West game, as the NAL ceased operations after that season. -- Couillaud 15:04, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
