     The Port Deposit Black Sox were a great team of baseball players, so good in fact that when the Baltimore Elite Giants came barnstorming, playing in small towns for publicity, they noticed some of the players. One of these was Ernest Burke. The Giants spotted Burke during a game at Port Deposit and called him up. Ernest Burke pitched for the Baltimore Elite Giants from 1947 to 1948.
