the Big Black Guy, 6-2, 180, who was a  

professional baseball catcher credited with 

being the second Black Man to play Major 

League Baseball with the Toledo Blue 

Stockings of the American Association on 

May 1, 1884 until August 23, 1889 when 

baseball's white supremacy racist 

segregation started, lasting until April 15, 

1947, making him the last player in the 

Pros, but he persevered man became a

Black Baseball History Month was 

founded by Ralph Winge, D.D.S. 

in 2025 to commemorate, place value, 

and get to know, our Heroes, while 

standing and cheering for, the many 

International Black Men who 'Shocked 

and Awed' us with too many to count, 

fantastic and unexpected physical 

heroics at the Ballpark, in exciting 

efforts for their teams to cross home 

plate more than their opponents to win.

The Founder of Black Baseball History Month,

Ralph Winge, D.D.S.,
