The first black major league player (SEE FIRST BLACK PLAYER ARTICLE). The Myth has been that Jackie Robinson was the first. Not true. Walker was joined on the 1884 Toledo AA club by his brother Welday later in the season. Walker was generally well received. In 1887 he teamed with George Stovey in Newark of the International League, to form the first black battery in organized baseball, with Stovey winning 35 games - still the IL record. Well-educated, handsome, gentlemanly and a good all-around athlete, Walker attended Oberlin College and the University of Michigan.
