Can you name any African American pitchers in the major leagues?

i was thinking about how often a black pitcher faces a black hitter, so i started trying to name some pitchers.


i came up with cc sabathia, dontrelle willis, and david price.


then after a while i thought of tom gordon, arthur rhodes, and darren oliver. can you name any more? i'll be surprised if we get double digits

Reply:Why is it a surprise. There were more african american players in MLB in the 70s then now..And major league baseball isnt showing any concern about it
Reply:There's not as many as there was 30 years ago, but MLB doesn't seemed to be concerned.

Reply:You mean U.S. born black players because there is quite a few from the Dominican Republic.
