Power Pros Forum

Since Compton HS Story is finished, I decide to make a new all-black high school baseball team came from Detroit, Michigan, Motor City High School.

The team is established in 1959. Same year when Motown was born. A 34-year-old person named Gary Hudson will become a very first manager of the team.

The uniform colors will be blue, silver and black.

The log will begin when I got JPPY2018. Stay tuned!

Sounds awesome! Can't wait
