After his game Horton walked on the streets during the 1967 Detroit 12th Street riot, he tried bravely to restore peace. He stood in his Tiger uniform on a car in the middle of the chaos, pleading for calm. The riots were in protest of the poor relationship between the mostly white police force and the black community. Horton, being of few African Americans in the major league baseball, he was trying to make peace between the two races and be the bridge between the two sides.

The game was between the Indianapolis ABC's and the Chicago Giants. Outcoming with Indianapolis winning 4-2. With the upbringing of this new league, a strive for racial equality began because of the never done before all-black league that gave African Americans more opportunities to play. Although the actual stadium is no longer present, a beautiful park stands in its place with lots of bike and walking trails, playgrounds, basketball courts, and even frisbee golf to spend the day in. ]]> 2021-10-22 16:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rale20532/k1nx1yd9qn2alach/wish/1836742368 Toledo, OH, USA cort20644 https://padlet.com/rale20532/k1nx1yd9qn2alach/wish/1836750140 Information: An 1883 exhibition game in Toledo, Ohio, between the local team and the White Stockings nearly ended before it began when Cap Anson angrily refused to take the field against Toledo's African-American catcher, Moses Fleetwood Walker. Anson relented after a loud protest and the potential loss of gate receipts. His aggressive attitude made Anson the acknowledged leader of the segregation forces already at work in the game. This is significant because it represents the fight for racial equality, and the resistance and hostile that it was faced with. ]]> 2021-10-22 16:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rale20532/k1nx1yd9qn2alach/wish/1836750140 Jefferson St, Philadelphia, PA, USA cort20644 https://padlet.com/rale20532/k1nx1yd9qn2alach/wish/1836777837 the first official game of the Nation League Took place on April 22, 1876, in Philadelphia’s Jefferson Street ground.

Specifically with his first game which was on May 1, 1884, at Eclipse Park Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. Walker's team (Toledo Team) lost to the Louisville Eclipse's 1-5. Even though his team lost, the game was still a huge gateway for African Americans to have equal rights to play in sports. Unfortunately, the stadium is no longer there but getting to stand there would feel like a moment in history. Now Spalding University is located there so maybe you could catch a college baseball game or take a short drive of 7 minutes to watch the Louisville bats play at their baseball stadium.]]> 2021-10-22 16:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rale20532/k1nx1yd9qn2alach/wish/1836789262 Ebbets Field Home Plate Marker, Sullivan Place, Brooklyn, NY, USA cort20644 https://padlet.com/rale20532/k1nx1yd9qn2alach/wish/1836792691 The Brooklyn dodgers broke the color barrier in April 15, 1947 with Jackie Robinson becoming the first African american major league baseball player when he started at first base.
