LeDroit Tigers (Washington DC)

That's some great DC history there! I had the great privilege of interviewing Sam lacy twice in his office at the Baltimore-Washington Afro-American newspaper, and have a tape somewhere to prove it. He was in his 90s and still sharp as a tack, with some amazing stories of growing up around Griffith Stadium and the players he met first as a kid vendor at the ballpark and later as a reporter. Wonderful guy, sweet as he could be, but uncompromising about the things he and his race had had to put up with over the years.

I was able to access the database Hank mentioned, but it required a Baltimore library card. I found a workaround but would have to look through old emails to see what it was if you need the same.
