ON THIS DAY IN 1955: Nate Dickerson became the first African-American player to play in the @Phillies organization, going 1-2 for the Appalachian League's Pulaski Phillies. Dickerson, a @CSDCheltenhamHS grad (woot!), hit 75 HRs in 5 minor league seasons, but never made the bigs. https://t.co/WoVtwSYrwJ — PolitiTweet.org
