League: Black Barnstorming Team
History: The longest-running Black barnstorming team was maybe best known as the Ethiopian Clowns, but before they took on that name they were the Miami Giants. The Clowns were baseball's answer to the Harlem Globetrotters. Players entertained the crowd with various comedic antics, including "shadowball", where they would go through a warm-up routine with no baseball. When the team joined the Negro American League, they dropped the "Ethiopian" moniker and played straight baseball.
