| Comment | In March 2019 we learned of an earlier inter-racial game game in Ohio: see 1869.14. These may be the first inter-racial games involving African-Americans. But there was an inter-racial game involving a Polynesian team in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1867. See 1867.17, see Honolulu in Pre-pro baseball, and see the Our Game blog article.
