Everett Scott 1914
Thank you in respect of the Sperber colorization.
The quest to find a 1924 New York Yankee player in the uniform from that year who had not yet been colorized defeated me. The next criteria I have used is to find a player who has been colorized but not as a Yankee. The outcome revealed a highly surprising result.
Captain of both the Red Sox and Yankees and holder of the record for most consecutive games played, until surpassed by Lou Gehrig. Still remains third in the all-time list in that category. Many know it was Scott that Gehrig surpassed but who did Scott pass to become the leader is the category. A fairly unknown piece of trivia. The answer is George Pinkney, and Scott went on to comfortably more than double Pinkney's feat, spread over 5 years of 577 games.
