The Monroe Monarchs were a professional baseball team based in Monroe, Louisiana which played in the Negro Leagues from the late 1920s to 1935. The team was created by Fred Stovall, a Texan oil drilling millionaire, who later financed the Negro Southern League. In the 1930s, a time of acute segregation, the team's games were watched by crowds of black and white people, alike. The most famous player with the team was Hall of Famer Hilton Smith. Baseball is a team sport, in which a fist-sized ball is thrown by a defensive player called a pitcher and hit by an offensive player called a batter with a round, smooth stick called a bat. ...

When the team first formed it played in the semi-pro Dixie League until Stovall formed the Negro Southern League with four other teams in in 1932. The Monarchs won that first season and lost to the Pittsburgh Crawfords in the Negro League World Series. Despite this success the team was excluded from the Negro Southern League when it was reorganized in the following season. The Pittsburgh Crawfords were a professional baseball team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which played in the Negro Leagues. ...

The team played in Casino Parkin Monroe, at what became 29th and Hope. It was 360 feet (110 metres) in left, 450 feet (138 metres) in center and 330 feet (102 metres) in right. Built on Stovall's plantation, the park and its associated recreational facilities (including a swimming pool and a dance pavillion) were considered some of the finest in the league.
Stovall accommodated the players in houses on his plantation, provided a cook to prepare their meals, and bought three brand-new Ford cars in 1932 for the team's travel. Ford may mean a number of things: A ford is a river crossing. ...
The team disbanded soon after 1935 and in 1937 Casino Park was leased to a local white team—Monroe Twins who became the Monroe White Sox in 1938—who played in the Cotton States League.
