The 'Negro League teams' quiz

Can you name every major Negro League team? In all, seven leagues have been considered as major league caliber: Negro National League (1920-31; listed as NNL1 here), Eastern Colored League (1923-28, and later as the American Negro League, which shut down in 1929; ECL here), East-West League (1932; EWL), Negro Southern League (1932; NSL), Negro National League (the second incarnation, 1933-48; NNL2), and the Negro American League (1937-50; NAL).Because the fortunes of individual leagues and franchises waxed and waned until integration, many of the teams listed appear in more than one of the seven leagues. Nicknames are acceptable as answers. Quiz clue: League / Years active. Good luck!
