No, there were many more before him. The second African American to play in MLB in the modern era was Larry Doby of the Cleveland Indians whose first game was July 5, 1947. Jackie Robinson's first MLB game was April 15, 1947.

No, that honor goes to Jackie Robinson. On April 15, 1947 Robinson became the first black player of Baseball's modern era (blacks did play in the 1800's).

Hammerin' Hank Aaron's rookie season was 1954.

No, Jackie Robinson was the first African-American to play baseball. His jersey # was 42 and nobody in baseball is allowed to wear 42 anymore.
