In 1923, for less than one season, Milwaukee had its own Negro National League team, the Milwaukee Bears. Unfortunately, as was the case with many Negro League teams, the Bears received little media coverage. Because of this and the short existence of the team, it is hard to pin down specifics, stats, and history.
Regardless of that fact, every year, the Brewers celebrate the legacy of Milwaukee’s one and only Negro League team.
