Bankhead, Dan
One of five brothers to play at various levels in the game, Dan rode a zingy FB and above average scrooge all the way to the bigs, becoming the first black pitcher when he debuted in 1947 for the Dodgers. Never really got it together, however, and his stay was a short one.
JAR has him as a good hitter, a claim not backed up by the stats. Other than that nothing of note.
