Ed Wheeler 1902 - Missing player
The Ray Brown in the Hall Of Fame is in the Negro League section. Prior to Jackie Robinson in 1947 the only negroes allowed to appear in the Major Leagues were the Walker brothers , Moses (Fleet) and Welday in the 1880's.
That is a different Ray Brown. Last edited by UKBaseballfan : 05-28-2007 at 09:39 PM. |
