Red Sox fall 6-1 to the Cubans in 1941 game
Original: MLB Gameday: Red Sox 1, Cubans 6 Final Score (08/26/1941)
A final score from August 26, 1941 is drawing attention: the Boston Red Sox lost 1-6 to the Cubans, a Negro league ballclub. The archived result, surfaced on MLB's Gameday database, revives interest in the exhibition and Negro league history, including the era when white major league teams regularly faced Black and Cuban teams whose records are still being recognised today.
Why now: Interest in Negro league history has grown as MLB incorporates those results into its official records.
