In 1916, a struggling Oaks team made history by breaking the professional baseball color line when Jimmy Claxton pitched a double-header on May 28th, 1916. He was introduced to the team as an American Indian, but once the team discovered he was both Native American and African American, he was dropped from the team. category: Seen Worse comments: 3 name comment wim commented on 08.02.07 he was a blackfoot indian? robert k commented on 08.02.07 the board i am assuming was part of a bigger ad. not sure what the big green letters are about as the word is cut off, but it says Oaks on his baseball cap.
