[edit] Biographical Information

Toy is considered by some to be the first Native American baseball player. He never claimed Indian ancestry during his life, but his descendents claim that he was part Sioux. Toy's brief career ended when a pitched ball bounced off of home plate and hit him in the groin while he was catching, causing pain that allegedly endured for the rest of his life. If Toy's descendents' claims are discounted, then the first Native American was Chief Sockalexis.
