The Cleveland Buckeyes were making their second appearance in the World Series after winning the NAL pennant (they subsquently beat Washington in four games for the title). As for the Cubans, they had started play in the NNL in 1935 but had disbanded for two years before returning in 1939. They were part of a distinct history that had employed many international players that ranged beyond just Cuba, such as [[Puerto Rico]].

Template:Infobox Negro World Series

The 1947 Negro World Series was the championship tournament for the 1947 season of the Negro leagues. It was the sixth edition of the second incarnation of the Series and the tenth overall played. It was a best-of-seven playoff played between the Negro National League New York Cubans and the Negro American League Cleveland Buckeyes.

The Cubans won the Series in six games, winning four while having one game called a tie due to rain after six innings. [1]

Background

The Cleveland Buckeyes were making their second appearance in the World Series after winning the NAL pennant (they subsquently beat Washington in four games for the title). As for the Cubans, they had started play in the NNL in 1935 but had disbanded for two years before returning in 1939. They were part of a distinct history that had employed many international players that ranged beyond just Cuba, such as Puerto Rico.

This would ultimately prove to be the penultimate Series ever played by the two Negro leagues. Integration of black players into Major League Baseball in 1947 had shifted attention in the newspapers and crowds away from the Negro Leagues as defectors like Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby took center stage for the National League and American League. [2][3]
