Although it was discovered in the 1960s that the first Native American in the major leagues was James Madison Toy, who played in the American Association in 1887 and 1890, the first man known and treated as an American Indian was Louis Sockalexis. http://www.baseballreliquary.org/story_of_sockalexis.htm Sep 18 04, 9:11 PM
