In the interest of learning more about the game, I give you the saga of
Moses Fleetwood Walker, the first African American to make it in the majors. He played for the Toledo Blue Stockings in 1884 and it did not go well. Walker's career was cut short for all the racist reasons one would expect but remains an interesting footnote to the sport's history. He played the game in 1884 and he played it in the majors. How come no one remembers him?
