Fowler is credited as the first Black player in organized professional baseball. White (who passed as a White player) played in the one professional game before the Walker Bros. Fleetwood Walker is credited as being first Black player in Major League baseball Weldy Walker followed his brother playing Major League baseball in the AA After which the Major Leagues then expelled/excluded all Black players ~ 1884 until Jackie came and broke the color line April 15, 1947
