The Owls Club was a Black women's softball team formed in the late 1930s in Seattle. The Owls won the first women's Washington State Softball Championship in 1938, playing at Sick's Stadium which went on to become the site of Rainier Avenue Lowe's.

The team, renamed the Brown Bombers, won the Championship again in 1939. Left handed pitcher Lillian Brown struck out 12 batters on the Manette team in the Championship game at the Civic Field which went on to become the site of Memorial Stadium.

Long, overdue good news: Negro League statistics will be integrated into MLB historical record!

Stats from the more than 2,300 players from seven iterations of the Negro Leagues from 1920-1948 will be included in the MLB’s database — including legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Josh Gibson, who will become the single-season record holder in batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS. Previous record holders for those three categories were Barry Bonds, Ty Cobb, and Babe Ruth.

The New York Black Yankees, 1934.

The Black Yankees were a New York City team that started out in 1931 as the Harlem Stars. They were renamed a year later and joined the Negro National League in 1936. They disbanded in 1948, after the major (white) leagues began hiring black players.
