The Double Duty Classic, which is named for famous Negro league player Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe, originally played at Comiskey Park. The Negro League East-West All-Star Game will mark its 75th anniversary at U.S. Cellular Field this year and will feature inner-city high school players from across the Midwest (Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Milwaukee and St. Louis) and the White Sox Amateur City Elite high school travel team. In addition the Negro League Baseball Museum and the White Sox will collaborate in a special forum on the history of the Negro Leagues and African-Americans in the game of baseball and players will dress in uniforms honoring Negro Leagues' East-West All-Star teams.
