Harlem Globetrotters baseball team
Ok, here's a question for all baseball trivia fans. Long ago ('50's - '60's) the Harlem Globetrotters had a baseball team that toured the country with another team called the House of David. They would play exibition games and would also play local teams if their respective schedules would permit. Name as many players as you can that played for that Globetrotter team.Comment

I believe Gibson was a forward. He was a serious player, meaning he didn't get into the court tricks like his teammates.Dave Bill Tom George Mark Bob Ernie Soupy Dick Alex Sparky
Joe Gary MCA Emanuel Sonny Dave Earl Stan
Jonathan Neil Roger Anthony Ray Thomas Art Don
Gates Philip John Warrior Rik Casey Tony Horace

The Trotters also had a softball team many years ago. In August, 1948, they played an exhibition game against a local slow pitch (16") team at Lane Tech High School Stadium on Chicago's North Side. It was the second game of a double-header. The Trotters used gloves since they normally played 12" fast pitch. I attended the games with some friends, and the crowd was having a great time, until the PA announcer told us that Babe Ruth had just died. Needless to say, that ended the fun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_GlobetrottersMythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.
