	The Official Home of Baseball Historian Dr. Harold Seymour and the SABR Seymour Medal Award
		Fleet Walker’s Divided Heart isn’t as much a book about the first fl player in major-league baseball history as it is the account of a complicated man who happened to have played baseball and who tried to find his place in a complicated world.
		Fleet Walker’s life was a life of achievement, and as well as demonstrating America’s inability to come to grips with the idea that fls could stand eye to eye with whites without being considered inferior.
		Walker’s actions throughout his life demonstrated his that his abilities in sports, business, or academia (he was college-educated) would somehow provide him with a niche in the world that he lived in while he was simultaneously attempting to reject society before it had a chance to reject him.

		Actually, three different Walkers made their sole big league appearance in 1884, including Fleet's younger brother and Toledo teammate, Welday Wilberforce Walker, the original WWW, who was four-for-18 as an OF for the Blue Sox.
		OF/1B Harry "the Hat" Walker won the 1947 batting title, when after a slow (.200, 5-for-25) start with the Cardinals, he was dealt to the Phillies on May 3, where he proceeded to hit.371 for the rest of the campaign and take the NL batting crown at.363.

		Moses Fleetwood Walker was born, the son of one of Ohio’s first fl doctors, on October 7, 1856.
