The Cleveland Buckeyes were a professional baseball team that played in the Negro Leagues. They were established in 1942 in Cincinnati, Ohio (Ohio being the Buckeye State). The following season, the team moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where they played their games at League Park. While in Cleveland, the team achieved great success, including winning a pair of Negro American League championships (1945, 1947) and a Negro League World Series title in 1945. In 1949 the team moved again, to Louisville, Kentucky, but it was to no avail and the Louisville Buckeyes disbanded at the end of the season.*
