Stay for the history.**********************************************************About this episode…The Seattle Steelheads played just one season — 1946 — and nearly vanished from Seattle’s collective memory.Into the Archives traces the team’s roots in Black baseball, wartime Seattle and the short-lived West Coast Negro Baseball League. This episode explores what the Steelheads meant, why so little of their history survives and why the Mariners’ decision to wear Steelheads uniforms on Sundays is about more than a throwback jersey.It’s a story about baseball, segregation, community — and what can disappear remarkably quickly when nobody records the people who were there.
