The Atlanta Black Crackers was a professional baseball team which played in the Negro League.
The Black Crackers won the Negro American League second half pennant, but scheduling problems and umpire controversies caused the series to be cancelled.
Following Jackie Robinson's breaking of Major League Baseball's infamous color barrier in 1947, the Negro League as well as the Black Crackers continued to exist for only a short time thereafter, finally disbanding in 1952.
Austin's Eastside, 1977, is a long way from the streets of Mexico City and Havana in the Thirties and Forties.
What is known is that the Senators fielded a ballclub as early as 1920 in the Texas Negro League, which was composed of mainstays from Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, and a revolving cast of teams from Fort Worth, Galveston, Shreveport, Wichita Falls, Little Rock, and Oklahoma City.
The BlackSenators team lasted into the Fifties, but by 1947, the white, Class B Austin Pioneers were the principal game in town.
