Ebbets Field Flannels sells historic baseball jerseys made from “real 1950s-era wool blend baseball cloth”.

The Clowns were baseball’s answer to the Harlem Globetrotters. Players entertained the crowd with various comedic antics, including “shadowball”, where they would go through a warm-up routine with no baseball. When the team joined the Negro American League, they dropped the “Ethiopian” moniker and played straight baseball.
