The St. Louis Stars, originally the St. Louis Giants, were a Negro league baseball team that competed independently from as early as 1906 to 1919. Founded as the independent St. Louis Giants in 1906 by promoter Charlie Mills. Sold in 1921 to Dick Kent and Dr. Sam Sheppard, who renamed the club the Stars. They played at Stars Park, located at the corner of Compton and Laclede avenues (on what is now the Harris-Stowe State University campus). The franchise won multiple pennants/titles in the late 1920s before financial pressures and the Great Depression led the league and team to dissolve after 1931.
