Best Answer

In 1884, two bothers, Fleet and Welday Walker, black Americans, played for Toledo in the American Association which was considered a Major League at the time. In the modern era, of course, Jackie Robinson is considered the first African American player when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
