Bracken family historian Doc Herbert Bracken

Seeking information on the family of Doc Bracken, Professional Negro League baseball player. "Doc" was a pitcher for the 1940 St. Louis Stars and then played for the 1946-1947.

While pitching for the Stars, he defeated every Negro American League team he faced. While in the Navy, he played for the Great Lakes Naval Base and had a 13-1 record. After completing his military service he was the most sought-after pitcher in Black baseball.

Would like to get in touch with family of Doc Bracken, related to Samuel Braken who lived in Benton Harbor, MI. Samuel had three daughters and a son, now deceased.
