SOM Negro League plans: Teams

In this post, the question is which six historical Negro League teams do I want to use as namesakes and ballpark locations for my replay league?

I will not work with historical rosters, but some considerations apply:
From the SOM player guide, I read the following teams with pitchers ballparks
  • Chicago American Giants (Schorling - biggest ever -   and Comiskey parks)
  • Baltimore?
  • Indianapolis?
  • Forbes, Griffith(?), Greenlee (Pittsburg)
  • NY Lincoln Giants?
  • Kansas City
  • Memphis Martin Park
Hitters ballparks
  • St. Louis Stars (short left field)
  • Detroit (acc. to ballpark effects)
  • Hilldale (same)
Initial candidate list:
  • Kansas City Monarchs (Satchel Paige and many other high profile players)
  • Chicago American Giants (Rube Fosters team)
  • Hilldale Daisies (hitters park)
  • Lincoln Giants (in the hitters park "Catholic Protectory" in the Bronx starting 1920)
  • Cuban Grays (Dihigo, no home ballpark?)
  • St. Louis Stars (Cool Papa Bell, hitters park)
  • Homestead Grays (played in the Pittsburg pitchers' parks)
