Шаблон:Short description The Denver White Elephants was a semi-professional independent African-American baseball team in Denver, Colorado, United States.[1] The team was active from 1915 to 1935, and practiced at Broadway Park at 6th and Acoma Streets in Denver.[2][1] The team played exhibition games against White teams.[3] It was owned and led by Albert Henderson Wade Ross (A.H.W. Ross) (1884–1939), a businessman who ran the Rossonian Hotel in Denver's Five Points neighborhood.[4][5]
The Denver Post Tournament was the most popular baseball event locally, Negro league baseball teams and African-American players were not allowed to participate until 1934.[6] The Denver White Elephants and the Kansas City Monarchs were the first Black teams to participate at the Denver Post Tournament in 1934.[6]
In 2020, the team was part of a museum exhibition called "Game Changers" at the History Colorado Center, which examined the role of African American baseball within the history of racial desegregation.[7]
