Moses Fleetwood Walker was a pioneering American professional baseball catcher, recognized as one of the earliest African-American players in Major League Baseball. He bravely played for the Toledo Blue Stockings in the American Association during 1884, courageously challenging the racial discrimination of the late 19th century. Walker’s professional career extended through the minor leagues until 1889, holding the distinction of being the final African-American player in the major leagues before Jackie Robinson. Following his retirement, he found success as a businessman, inventor, and supporter of black nationalism.
