Ep. 2 - The Walker Brothers

The 419 Mini-Series

In 1884, nearly 60 years before Jackie Robinson, an Toledo Blue Stocking by the name of Moses Fleetwood Walker played his first game in the major leagues. Moses Fleetwood Walker and his brother Weldy W. Walker would become the first African-American siblings on major league team for nearly 80 years. The accomplishments of these two men go heavily unrecognized in history books. On this episode of the 419, we hope to give these men the credit they're due by telling a story of baseball's history and a brief introduction to the Walker Brothers. more info: www.toledomatters.com/the419ep2
