Forgotten Favorite?
Moses Yellow Horse, considered by most historians to be the first full-blooded Native American (Pawnee) to play major league baseball. Pitched well for the Pirates in 1921-22. But never more notoriously than when, in a 1922 exhibition game, he beaned the famous peacemaker Ty Cobb, who had spent much of his only at bat hurling racist insults at him. Right between the eyes.
But hung around too much with one Walter (Rabbit) Maranville, who taught him the delights of alcohol. Became an admitted alcoholic, and was out of the majors for good the following year. Appears on an Exhibit card (1922) and on a Zeenuts PCL (1924)
