Negro Leagues Baseball Site

This new site marker at Glen Miller Park sits located directly across the street from the former Exhibition Park. Exhibition Park was home to a baseball stadium where the Richmond Giants played. This independent Negro League Baseball Team was based right here in Richmond, Indiana and included some well known African American players including: Oscar Charleston, Bill Holland, Connie Day, and Will McMurray. Between 1907 and 1960, over 125 games featuring all-Black teams were played here.
