Walker played catcher for the Toledo Blue Stockings from 1884 until 1889, when Major League Baseball officially erected its color barrier. Its more accurate to say that Robinson was the first black man to play Major League baseball in the modern age.

The movie focuses on the early years of RealLife baseball legend UsefulNotes/JackieRobinson (Boseman), who gets recruited by Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Ford) to become the first African-American player of a major league team (or, at least, since Moses Fleetwood Walker played for the Toledo Bluestockings in the 1880s). After proving himself in the minor leagues, Robinson works his way onto the Brooklyn Dodgers; along the way, he must struggle not only against the rampant racism and segregation of the time, but also the notoriety of breaking baseball's color barrier and the backlash from his own teammates. Fortunately, he has the support of his wife Rachel (Beharie), but that still doesn't make it easy...
