Ebbets Field Flannels Cuban Giants 1903 Home Jersey
History: Often called the Original Cuban Giants to distinguish them from the Cuban X-Giants, on an offshoot team, this club started out as a hotel team in Babylon, NY. The players were African-American, the Cuban name being a ruse to get around the racial obstacles at the time (though the team actually did train in Cuba). Before the color line was universally enforced, a couple of Black teams actually played in otherwise-white leagues.

History: The Cuban League not only fielded great Cuban players. The League was also a haven for American Negro Leaguers who could extend their seasons into the winter and who did not encounter the racial bias they met back home. Major Leaguers also played in the Cuban League in the off-season to hone their skills and keep in shape. This jersey is the one worn by the 1969 national team.
