The Indianapolis Clowns were a black touring baseball team that featured an entertaining mix of comedy, showmanship, and skill. Sometimes referred to as the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball--though many of the Globetrotters' routines were borrowed directly from the Clowns--they captured the affection of Americans of all ethnicities and classes.
