The Eagles were formed when Abe Manley and his wife Effa Manley , founders of the Brooklyn Eagles, purchased the '''Newark Dodgers''' franchise and merged the teams. Team management was left to Effa, making the Eagles the first professional team owned and operated by a woman, and under her guidance the 1946 team won the Negro League World Series , upsetting the Kansas City Monarchs in a 7-game series.
