The article doesn't say much about how a season of competition in one of the Negro leagues was organised. Negro National League (1933–48)#Pennant winners has some relevant information:
The "unorthodox nature of the schedule" is not further described. At one extreme, maybe the "league" was more like a series of challenge-matches between pairs of teams, and at the end of the season some newspaper printed a summary table of statistics sorted by some metric of its own choosing and declared the first-listed team to be the champions. Was there more formality in the structure, at least in theory, and to what extent did practice depart from theory? How much did the overall disorder impair the ability of players and fans to take seriously the notion of any competition beyond the level of an individual game? jnestorius( talk) 18:06, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
When did the term "Black Ball" originate? Who used it first? How common a term is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vmavanti ( talk • contribs) 12:48, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Negro league baseball → Negro League baseball – In sources, "League" is almost always capitalized in this context, while "baseball" is not. See n-grams. Dicklyon ( talk) 23:42, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
How come no mention of Negro owner of Seattle Steelheads? 2601:601:1700:6F30:A9BD:6B44:F53B:4954 ( talk) 17:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
