Effa Manley, American sports executive, first woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame
Manley was the treasurer of the Newark chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and often used Eagles games to promote civic causes.

Among the Eagles players during her ownership were future major league stars such as Larry Doby, who in 1947 was the first player to integrate the American League, Monte Irvin, and Don Newcombe.

Her players traveled in an air-conditioned Flxible Clipper bus, considered extravagant for the Negro leagues.
