Moses Fleetwood Walker was the first African American professional baseball player, joining the majors in 1884. Walker's courage in the face of bigotry and prejudice is almost unimaginable considering the era in which he played, and our super-soft tee reps his pioneering spirit, along with all the heroes in the long fight for equality in the Majors. Pay homage. A portion of proceeds benefits the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the world's only museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of African-American baseball and its impact on the social advancement of America. The privately funded, 501 c3, not-for-profit organization was established in 1990.
