Padron played in Fort Wayne, IN in 1934 with the integrated Berghoff Beer team. Berghoff was based out of Fort Wayne. They were big sports sponsors. They announced before the season they were going to have a integrated team using negro league players. Joe Scott also joined that team.

Hi!
I know this is an old post so I’m not sure if you will see this. But Isidro Fabré is my great grandfather on my mothers side. Thank you so much for posting these photos of him. I have some of him with my grandmother when she was an infant. But that’s about it.
