This quiz gets tough real quickly. Not everyone can get to be Jackie Robinson.

Sam Jethroe and Minnie Minoso

As is today, things in Detroit are complicated. Some people consider Ozzie Virgil Sr. to be the first black Tiger, others say it was Larry Doby. Virgil was Dominican, and you see sources calling him the first non-white Tiger, or first Tiger of color. The team through the years makes reference to both players.
