Black Baseball History Month!... Our Very First Baseballer Of The Week... William Edward White!

 

Our Inaugural 'Baseballer of the Week'

for this week 

goes to:

the Big Black Guy 6-1, 195, who was the 

very first player on record to play in a 

Professional Baseball game on 

June 21, 1879, playing for only one game 

while the current first baseman of the 

Providence Grays was injured, and 

during that game he 

scored a run, stole two bases and batted 

.250, and was 12 for 12 putouts in 

defending first base, all the while being a 

student/baseball athlete at Brown 

University, helping his team win the 

National Collegiate Championship 

that year, oh, and the Providence Grays 

already knew about William and his 

'faultless' play because the Grays had 

played Williams' Brown University

 baseball team in the preseason, 

so maybe he was in the stands during 

the Gray's game, and was called down 

from the bleachers and quickly given 

a uniform to put on, however it is not 

known how much he was paid for 

that game, but he 'shined like a light,'

and so much more...
