Talk:John Wyatt

From BR Bullpen

When was he a Negro leaguer? He was in the Cardinal chain at 19 in 1954 and voluntarily retired in 1955. --Jeff 22:29, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

I have no idea what my source was so removed it. - --Mischa 08:04, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

It says he was with the Indianapolis Clowns. Our page says the Clowns played through 1950, when Wyatt was 15. Was he on the team young, or did Indianapolis last longer? --Jeff 12:25, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

Indianapolis lasted longer than that. The Negro Leagues were basically dead by 1950 but several teams stuck around. The Clowns lasted the longest, as they became basically a Harlem Globetrotters type of act. - --Mischa 12:29, 11 May 2007 (EDT)
