Re: Harrisburg Giants--Negro Baseball League Players Related?
From Calobe Jackson, Jr., 25 July 2007 in response to Harryette Mullen's letter
Dear Harryette,
There exists a picture of a Harrisburg Giants player
in uniform, taken at a Lancaster ballpark. Supposedly the wife of the
ball player left or divorced the ball player and banned the picture from
her family collection (early 1930s). The wife was related to the
Spradley family in Harrisburg. Speculation is that the picture may
be of Dalton Cooper. The women that now has the picture is currently on
vacation. When she returns, I will send a copy to afrolumens for
posting. If it is not Dalton Cooper, perhaps some viewer will
recognize the player
