OTD, MLB Pioneer, George Spriggs made his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
At the time George Spriggs made his debut on September 15, 1965, only 12,423 had ever played in The Show. The odds of making it are astronomical. If you were a black man in the 1950s and 1960s, the odds were even more stacked against you.
George Spriggs played in the Negro League for the Detroit Stars.
