The Birmingham Giants were a black professional baseball team founded in 1904 by C. I. Taylor featuring players from Southern black colleges.
In 1905 the team joined the newly-formed Colored Southern Baseball Association, playing as the Birmingham Blues. The league apparently folded after one season.
Taylor, who managed the team and played second base, moved the Giants to Indiana (as the West Baden Sprudels) in 1910.
