Interracial games in 1927 fall into three groups. First, a team of American League All-Stars (ALS) barnstormed in the Northeast (mostly Pennsylvania and New York) against the Homestead Grays (HOM) with one additional game played in Atlantic City against the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants (ACY).
Second, as they did for many years, the Baltimore Black Sox (BLS) played an "All-Star" team (ASB) every Sunday in October.
And finally, a white team organized by Joe Pirrone (PIR) played a barnstorming team in Los Angeles. In this case, the Hilldale Giants (HIL).
