East-West Game
From BR Bullpen
The All-Star Game of the Negro Leagues, the East-West Game was first played in 1933, inspired by Arch Ward. The contests were held annually through 1962. As there was usually a midwestern Negro League and an eastern one, the east-west breakdown was a logical way to divide teams in a fairly even manner. The East-West Game was the most prominent match-up in the Negro League schedules.
