Account book. Birmingham Black Barons

Date

1926-1930
Part of: Birmingham Black Barons records
Rare Books & Special Collections, Hesburgh Libraries

The book records the club's financial transactions with each of its players for the 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, and 1930 seasons. Material is arranged chronologically by season; individual player accounts for a given season are in roughly alphabetical order. The 1926 season occupies pages 1 to 24; 1927 is from 33 to 74; 1928 from 75 to 126; 1929 from 130 to 164, and 1930 from 165 to 196. Player accounts typically occupy two facing pages, with the player's name and monthly salary ("MoS") at the head of the left-hand page. Each credit (usually in the form of salary) and debit (cash advances, equipment charges, fines, extra meals, taxi fare, phone calls, and so on) is indicated. Satchel Paige's accounts are on pages 55 (1927), 107 (1928), 148-149 (1929), and 191 (1930). The book also includes the club's accounts with Gray Sporting Goods Co., which provided the players' and team's equipment.
