Originally named the Barber College Baseball Club, the team was initially owned and operated by Arthur P. Martin, a local Memphis barber. In the late 1920s the Martin brothers, all three Memphis doctors and businessmen, purchased the Red Sox. J. B. Martin, W. S. Martin, and B. B. Martin, would retain control of the club till its dissolution in 1959. The Red Sox played as members, at various times, of the Negro Southern League, Negro National League, and Negro American League. The team was never a titan of the Negro leagues like wealthier teams in northern cities of the United States, but sound management led to a continuous thirty-nine years of operation, a span that was exceeded by very few other teams. Following integration, the team had five players that would eventually make the rosters of Major League Baseball teams and two players that were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Headgear Classics","offers":[{"title":"2XL","offer_id":52656214835431,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/2740\/8533\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-19144249.jpg?v=1789795066","url":"https:\/\/prolooksports.com.au\/products\/memphis-red-sox-negro-league-full-button-front-jersey","provider":"Pro Look Sports \u0026 Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
