My daughter was learning about Black History month yesterday and she told the teacher that Jackie Robinson was the first black MLB player. The teacher asked her how she knew that. Her reply was "looking at baseball cards with my daddy."

Too bad there aren't any vintage cards of Moses Fleetwood Walker, then that would have really impressed the teacher if she knew about him.

Andy, I'd be impressed if the teacher even heard of Moses Fleetwood.

Right! That is because "Black History" seems to skip from the 1860's to the 1940's.

The majority of the population aren't baseball historians like the folks here, let alone my 7 year old. I should have known that somebody would have something to say. There was a reason I put MLB and not organized. Flame away.
