The Cleveland Cubs were a Negro league baseball team in the Negro National League, based in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1931.[1] In their only season, they finished in second place with a 23-22 record.[2] The rosters of the 1931 Cubs and the 1931 Nashville Elite Giants have some overlap as Tom Wilson was owner of both teams.[3]

The Cubs had one Hall of Famer play for them: Satchel Paige pitched in 5 games for the Cubs, winning one and losing one, with a 2.13 ERA.[4] The Cubs home ballpark was Hardware Field.[2]

Foster Memorial Giants

An independent Cleveland Cubs team emerged in 1932 that also went by the name "Foster Memorial Giants."[5] Originally named Rube Foster Memorial Giants and based in Chicago, the team moved to Cleveland (and the Southern League) as a result of success of Chicago American Giants in their home city.[6] They disappeared after playing to a 1–15 record.[5]

This incarnation of the Cubs also had one Hall of Famer play for them: Cristóbal Torriente played in 11 games hitting .244.[7] This Cubs team had no designated home ballpark.[5]
