Ping!! So did I. We did have the Barron Knights back in the day, so I thought it might be something similar but with black guys.

Yep, me too.
Up until 'Negro Leagues' I was thinking, 'Oooh, exciting, I bet this is about some sort of Peaky Blinders type gang thing! I wonder if these Black Barons wore special weaponised hats too?!'.
Sorry, MoonOrb, I'm sure some folk who don't get confused by cities sharing a name will be along shortly!
