|
The were a professional
Baseball team based in
Brooklyn ,
New York which played in the
Negro Leagues . They were one of the premier professional teams before
World War I , winning multiple championships in the East. During the
1920s , under the ownership of
Nat Strong , a white
New York City booking agent, the team fell into somewhat of a decline, and did very poorly while in
Eastern Colored League . The Giants played their home games while part of the Eastern Colored League at
Dexter Park in
Queens .
The Giants returned to independent play in
1928 and rebuilt the roster, but the quality of the rebuilt team never matched that of the early years. By the mid-
1930s , the quality was no better than that of a minor league team in the early
1940s the team had fallen to a semi-professional status. The team disbanded in
1942 .
