Playing the 1884 season bring the official first black player in the Major League (Fleet Walker) but that made me think about Bill White who was the first unofficial black player in the major league, he played one game with the Providence Greys in 1879 but he lived his life as a white man (in reality he was mixed race). So to make a long story short I wanted to revisit the FG I did for him previously in the pack who doesn't feel accurate at all (if you check the picture I used was very blurry) using a better picture and better tools... this is the result.

Now he looks like he has black ancestry (his mother was black) but not over the top like the paint job done for his baseball card... really if he would have been that dark he would have never pass for a white man.
