Player Biography
Often regarded as the greatest black ballplayer of the 19th century, Ulysses F. “Frank” Grant starred for six years in integrated minor leagues before racism relegated him to touring black teams for the remainder of his 20-year career. Grant played all positions but excelled at second base, showing speed, range and a knack for acrobatic plays. Despite his diminutive stature, Grant was a solid hitter with good power, batting better than .300 every year in the minors, including three seasons with Buffalo of the International League. He anchored the all-black Cuban Giants of the 1890s before finishing his career in 1903.
