Moses Fleetwood Walker was the first African-American to play on a major league team, but he hit no home runs during his 42 games in 1884. Babe Ruth had some facial characteristics of people of African background, and was villified as a n----- by some of his opponents, explicitly by Ty Cobb. Any degree of African heritage would be impossible to prove without DNA testing, and would almost certainly be so small as to hardly qualify Ruth as an African-American.
