Reds Trivia 4/26/08

by Bill Lack on April 26th, 2008 in Reds Trivia

June 9, 1955: The Reds trade Bob Borkowski to the Dodgers for Joe Black, who becomes the Reds first African-American pitcher.

Black starred as a rookie for the Dodgers in 1952 with a 15-4 record and a 2.15 ERA, but that was his last taste of success in the majors. He was 8-4 with 5 saves and a 4.34 ERA in Cincinnati. 

All “Reds trivia” posts come from Greg Rhodes and John Snyder’s fabulous book, “Redleg Journal” (see link for purchasing) and are used with Greg’s permission.

Thanks again to Greg Rhodes for permission to use his material.
