is there a documented "first" professional baseball player?
Posted By: barrysloate
I believe Scott is correct that Creighton is considered the first baseball player to be paid to play. However, since it was considered taboo to pay ballplayers, and there was secrecy surrounding their compensation, it is difficult to know for sure who was first.
