Default Who is this African American player?
From 1907-1909, George Wilson (ex-Page Fence Giants) played with Manitowoc. A 1907 postcard that includes George, seated, is at the bottom. Above it is a Manitowoc team postcard with a 1913 postmark that includes a standing African American player (I've sharpened the image with Photoshop because my scanner muddies it). Anyone recognize the player? Any info to share? Thanks.
