No arguments from me. I’m a huge baseball fan and somewhat of a historian. I saw the code talkers movie and that is a great story. So maybe it was a case of going overboard. I am careful about sources because some are rabidly anti-Trump and will neglect to mention certain things.
I do wonder why Moses Fleetwood Walker has been forgotten since he technically was the first black baseball player in the late 1800s
Because the color barrier was put up AFTER that, because of Cap Anson and various other baseball players refusing to play against black players, which was a side effect of all the post-Reconstruction laws coming into place

I know but it’s just weird how he isn’t well known. I knew about Cap Anson. I’m excited about the upcoming season
