RASBERRY AND TATUM | For the upcoming 1958 season, entrepreneur Ted Rasberry formed a new team and annointed legendary Harlem Globetrotter Reese "Goose" Tatum as pseudo-owner. That year, Rasberry changed the name of the team from the Stars to the Clowns and added legendary baseball clown Prince Joe Henry to perform stunts with Tatum. The experiment apparently did not yield the desired result, as the team reverted to its original name the next season.
