The Missouri History Museum has uncovered an astonishing find: a photograph of Stars Park, home of the Negro National League’s St. Louis Stars in the 1920s.

See here for some (limited) views of the park’s interior, and here for a diagram of the lot (after the park was demolished).

Given that Negro league ballparks were often in well-travelled, well-populated sections of large, often-photographed towns and cities, it seems extraordinarily likely that more such images exist, waiting to be found.

(Thanks to Scott Simkus & Kevin Johnson for pointing me to this.)
