Not an important player (Gibbie Meeks) but from a fairly historically significant and hard to find team, the 1946 Brooklyn Brown Dodgers. Branch Rickey founded the United States (Negro) Baseball League in 1945 and it lasted just two years. He reportedly helped form this league as a guise to scouting negro talent just prior to signing Jackie Robinson. He threw his full support into the Brooklyn Brown Dodgers team that used Ebbets Field for their games.
