About
The 25th Infantry Wreckers were an all-Black Army baseball team that rose to
prominence in the years surrounding World War I due to a dominant roster that
included Hall of Famer Wilber “Bullet” Rogan, Negro
League stars Oscar “Heavy” Johnson and
Walter “Dobie” Moore, and several other players who
had careers in the Negro Leagues.
