Our 'Baseballer of the Week'
for this week
goes to:
the Big Black Guy, 6-2, 190, who was the
third Black Man to play Pro Baseball,
when he joined his brother Moses
Walker two months after he started,
and played admirably with the Toledo
Blue Stockings for two years, then
left to play in the Negro League, and
he also played on the baseball teams at
Oberlin College and U. Michigan, then
he published and edited a Black-centered
Newspaper with his brother Moses,
called The Equator,
and so much more...
Black Baseball History Month was
founded by Ralph C. 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 C. Winge, D.D.S.,
and elucidator of elatus labialis wingeulus.
