Charlie Grant
Charles Grant Jr. (August 31, 1874 – July 9, 1932)〔 was an African American second baseman in Negro League baseball. Grant nearly crossed the baseball color line decades before Jackie Robinson when Major League Baseball manager John McGraw attempted to pass him off as a Native American named "Tokohama".〔("Grant Ordered to Baltimore" Fort Wayne Morning Journal-Gazette, Fort Wayne, IN, Sunday, May 19, 1901, Page 5, Column 5 )〕
==Background==
Grant was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of an African American horse trainer.〔Riley, p. 330.〕〔Peterson, p. 56.〕 A good fielder, Grant was of "medium height" and weighed approximately 160 pounds and hit right-handed.〔〔Peterson, p. 54 gives a description of Grant (as "Tokohama") from ''Sporting Life''.〕
When star second baseman Sol White left the Page Fence Giants after just one season, Charlie Grant replaced him in 1896.〔 Grant and Page Fence defeated White's new team, the Cuban X-Giants, ten games to five to win an 1896 championship series played in various southern Michigan towns.〔White, p. 37, Malloy, p. xxxv.〕 Page Fence disbanded in 1899 and Grant moved with most of the players to the Columbia Giants of Chicago.〔Bak, p. 49.〕 He also captained the Columbia Giants for at least part of one season.〔
