FILE - In this April 1959 file photo, Boston Red Sox's Pumpsie Green poses for a photo. The Celtics and the Bruins were pioneers in professional basketball and hockey during the 1950s. But the Red Sox were the last Major League Baseball team to field a black player. Pumpsie Green debuted at Fenway in 1959 _ more than a decade after Jackie Robinson played for the Dodgers, and even after Willie O‚ÄôRee took the ice for Boston in the all-white National Hockey League.
