Pure coincidence but I was listening to a baseball podcast called the Outsider Baseball Notebook by Adam Darowski who has been doing tons of research on Negro leaguers and other non MLB greats. He had an author on that wrote about the Philadelphia Royal Giants, “The Gentle Black Giants” co-written by Bill Staples Jr. I reached out to him on Twitter and also bought the book. He had a chapter on the 1932 team and specifically discussed the photo collection. I, of course, bought the book and can’t wait to read it.
