Treadway - N172, interesting (sad) story

Moses Fleetwood Walker was the first African American on a card. Treadway may have been next; I'm not sure if we know his race with certainty.

Indeed. I highly recommend it as the story goes well beyond his few weeks in the PCL. Mr. Phelan did a great job with tons of research Last edited by btcarfagno; 11-12-2018 at 04:04 PM. |

Bill James does a great job of blowing up the myth that treadway - who did have a dark complex but never claimed or has been shown to have mixed race heritage- was thrown out of the league for being black. He just wasn’t very good he was a way under average batter for the time and just didn’t stick
