Difficult to say. William Edward White played one game for the Providence Grays in 1879. White was a student baseball player at Brown University, and the son of a white slave owner and a bi-racial slave. The law at the timewould have been considered him a negro (or black, or African-American, or whatever). However, White had, by that time, been passing for white for many years. Thus, he did not pass in order to play ball, but to do better in society. And one game in MLB hardly constitutes a career.
