Negro League research
newspapers.com has the Pittsburgh Courier and many local papers to help you out. Check your local library to see if they have ProQuest. This has the Chicago Defender which will add to your first account stories.
If you are a SABR member then you get access to Paper of Records which leads you the the Baltimore Afro-American papers.
GenealogyBank.com is also a good source for newspapers. I have found Chester, Pennsylvania and Monessen, Pa. to be excellent sources for barnstorming game boxscores.
