Long before Jackie Robinson broke MLB’s color barrier, Atlanta’s Black Crackers were fighting for a place on the field—and in the stands. Black fans were forced into the “Buzzard’s Roost” section at Ponce de Leon Park, while the team hustled with hand-me-down gear and played wherever they could. Despite segregation and money woes, they clinched a Negro American League championship half in 1938. Today, magnolia trees and a BeltLine marker quietly honor their legacy. How do you think Atlanta’s sports history would look if these pioneers had gotten the support they deserved? #Sports #Baseball #AtlantaHistory
