My awesome grandfather always was a huge baseball (and hockey) fan. One day during his honeymoon in New York, he got up early, went for a walk, and stopped by the stadium or whatever for the Dodgers''s practice. As soon as he said he was from Montreal, Jackie Robinson became happy to meet him and shake his hand. He said he'd always find time for people from Montreal because they treated him well while he was there. My grandparents met a lot of cool people over the years, but that one story always stuck with me somehow.

the first African American to play regularly in the big leagues wasn-t the Brooklyn Dodgers Jackie Robinson, it was Moses Fleetwood -Fleet- Walker.
On May 1, 1884, the 26-year-old Walker was the catcher for the Toledo Blue Stockings in their opening game in the then-major league American Association. Six decades later, while Robinson was hailed as a pioneer, Walker was seen more as a curiosity.

Listen, u have people thinking Tiger Woods faced racism. That is untrue. He never suffered harm in reaction to his race, like so many who came B4 him. Jackie Robinson suffered from Racism, which was deplorable. I do not accept that making what u think is a silly joke, which involves one's race, is Racism. It is not. For if it was, then what we call racism today is not such a bad thing & it is.

It has always been believed that Jackie Robinson was the first black to play in the majors but that is incorrect. He may be the first black to play in a complete season and further, but not the first black player ever to play in a major league game. This is just one of many events throughout history where the truth is either stretched or completely incorrect. -

I feel bad for the second black guy to play. That-s quite an achievement, also, but he-s never mentioned in any of the 437, 954 celebrations that Jackie has had. That-s how this country is. Just like Mark Martin in 1998.

He wasn-t the first black baseball player, just another lie that everyone continues to tell that goes unchecked. Btw Jacky Robinson was an all-star player at best.

He wasn't really the first African American to play MLB. In the early days of professional baseball, it was not segregated. It became segregated in the late 19th century.

A great player! Took a lot of courage to get out there every day when people are calling you names and treating you like you-re not human.

He wasn't the first. He was second. Moses Fleetwood Walker was first. But Jackie was the first in the modern era
