Ahead of Jackie Robinson?
El Beisbol: Travels Through the Pan-American Pastime by John Krich quotes (p. 157 of the Prentice-Hall paperback edition) longtime major league scout Howie Haak as saying: "Of course, there were plenty of Cubans in the big leagues in those days. They had to sign this phony form sayin' they were of white ancestry. But hell, Tommy de la Cruz was as black as they came."
