Philadelphia Stars

The Stars won the Negro National League pennant in 1934, their second season, and played 16 in all at a recorded 417-422. Ed Bolden founded the club after his Hilldale team folded, which is why the two share a home ground in the record: the Stars played at Hilldale Park as well as at 44th and Parkside and, for the bigger games, at Shibe Park.

Six Hall of Famers played here, among them Jud Wilson, Biz Mackey, Turkey Stearnes, Oscar Charleston, Leon Day and Roy Campanella, who caught for the club as a teenager before Brooklyn signed him. Webster McDonald managed the 1934 champions.

The club outlasted most of its league. It was one of the last Negro National League sides still playing when the league dissolved after 1948, by which point the major leagues had begun signing its players and its audience had followed them.
