Maxwell Cornelius Manning (November 18, 1918 – June 23, 2003) was a pitcher in Negro league baseball. He played for the Newark Eagles between 1938 and 1949.
A native of Rome, Georgia, Manning served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.[1] In the 1946 Negro World Series, he started two games and went 1–1 to help the Eagles win the championship.
Manning appeared in a 2003 episode of the PBS series History Detectives, which featured an investigation into how a baseball field dedicated to fellow Negro league player John Henry Lloyd (better known as "Pop" Lloyd) came to be in Atlantic City, New Jersey during a period where racial discrimination was in force. Manning died in Pleasantville, New Jersey in 2003 at age 84.
