The Negro Leagues played their first All-Star game in the same year and same ballpark as the American and National Leagues: Comiskey Park in 1933. The East-West Classic became an annual event, played at Comiskey Park from 1933 through 1960 with a second game played in an Eastern ballpark several times as well. These games were the highlight of the Negro League season and got tremendous newspaper coverage from the African-American press.
Retrosheet has compiled game accounts of the East-West All-Star games played over all thirty years of their existence, 1933 - 1962.
