Bradenton Nine Devils - Honoring The CCRA's Past

It's always exciting to work with community partners on events that honor the people and events who were important in the history of our CRA. The Bradenton Nine Devils was Bradenton’s Black baseball team that thrived in the independent Florida State Negro League from 1937 to 1956. The team was made up of players from Manatee and Sarasota counties.

On October 22nd, come out and learn about our Bradenton history at this event held to honor these Bradenton (and Sarasota) athletes.
