An American invention of the mid-1800s, baseball has been a rich cultural and commercial phenomenon for an Afro-Atlantic culture. It has been played on many amateur and professional levels and enjoyed by diverse ethnic and class groups. Formed in 1865, the Philadelphia Pythians, among the earliest known African American baseball teams, played its first-full season in 1867. The team was denied entry into the Pennsylvania State Convention of Baseball that same year and dissolved four years later in 1871. - Negro League Hall of Fame
