James Moore

James Robert "Red" Moore (November 18, 1916 – February 6, 2016) was an American professional baseball first baseman. Moore was a player in the Negro leagues, appearing with several different teams including his hometown Atlanta Black Crackers. He also served with three different All-Star teams and, in 1938, played with the Southern News Services All-American Negro League Baseball Team.

In 1939, Moore had a batting average of .400, something only 23 other Negro Major League players accomplished. In 2006, he was inducted into the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame. Listed at and , he batted and threw left-handed. Over the next six years, Moore moved among the Atlanta Black Crackers, Macon Peaches, Chattanooga Choo-Choos, Schenectady Black Sox, Newark Eagles and Baltimore Elite Giants. He gradually earned a reputation, according to Voices from the Negro Leagues, as perhaps "the best fielding basemen of all time" in his league. Baseball records for his time playing with major Negro league teams (1937–1940) list Moore as accruing a .279 batting average with two home runs and 96 runs batted in.

In 1940, after finishing the regular season in Baltimore, Moore played in a winter season in Los Angeles that allowed white and black players to compete against each other, a competition that was first allowed and then halted by Major League Baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Moore himself believed that the games were halted because the black players were too successful, stating that "The public, they liked to see the competition, but the commissioner, he didn't have that attitude after he found out that we were drawin' real good crowds and we were beatin' 'em a lot." and served in the United States Army from 1942 to 1945. After the war, he returned to baseball for three seasons with the minor Negro league Atlanta Black Crackers.

In 2006, Moore was among six individuals inducted into the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame, in its second year of existence. He died at the age of 99 on February 6, 2016; he was survived by his wife, Mary.
