He arranged for the fans to vote on the players that would participate and his original 1933 series grew into an annual tradition that continued until 1962.

Because league structures were shaky during the Great Depression and also because certain teams (notably the Kansas City Monarchs and the Homestead Grays) frequently played entirely independent of the leagues, votes were not counted by league, but by geographical location. Hence, Greenlee's series were known as East-West All-Star Games. Votes were tallied by two of the major African-American weekly newspapers of the day, the Chicago Defender and the Pittsburgh Courier.

The Games

All games were held at Comiskey Park in Chicago unless otherwise noted.

1933 (September 10)

East 000 320 002 - 7; West 001 303 31x - 11; East: Sam Streeter (Pittsburgh Crawfords) (L), Bertram Hunter (Pittsburgh Crawfords), George Britt (Homestead Grays) and Biz Mackey (Philadelphia Stars), Josh Gibson (Pittsburgh Crawfords); West: Bill Foster (Chicago American Giants) (W) and Larry Brown (Chicago American Giants); Home runs: Mule Suttles (Chicago American Giants); Notes:

Bill Foster pitched a complete game for the West and Mule Suttles hit the first home run in East-West history.; The West squad used only its nine starters for the entire game.; The starting lineups reflected an imbalance in voting, as seven West starters came from the American Giants while five East starters were from either the Crawfords or Grays.; East first baseman Oscar Charleston (Pittsburgh Crawfords) received the most votes, with 43,793.;

The score was 4-4 after nine, and each team scored four run in the tenth inning.; Mule Suttles hit a two-out three-run HR in the bottom of the 11th off of Dihigo to win it.; West shortstop Willie Wells (Chicago American Giants) got the most votes, with 16,262;
