Lines: 17 Xref: watmath net.games.trivia:2215 net.sport.baseball:2251 In <544@petfe.UUCP> I asked about the first black baseball player because I remembered the Trivial Pursuit card which said it was not Jackie Robinson. I have been inundated with responses, including mention of Larry Doby (the first Black in the AL), and lots of other suggestions. Well, last night I went home and dug out the Trivial Pursuit card with the question on it. It reads, "Who was the first black to play major league baseball?" The answer is: "Moses Fleetwood Walker". NOW does anybody have an answer or suggestion as to who this guy is???? --Evan Marcus -- {ucbvax|decvax}!vax135!petsd!petfe!evan ...!pedsgd!pedsga!evan Who messed with my anti-paranoia shot?
