Professional Baseball Player and Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee.

He was elected to the baseball hall of fame in 2006 for his contributions to the negro leagues as a player, manager, executive, and writer. White helped to form two teams, 1887's pittsburgh keystones and 1902's philadelphia giants, but he is best known for helping to form the "national colored base ball league", the first official negro league. In 1907, he authored the first book about black baseball, "sol white's history of colored baseball", a collection of stories, stats, and biographies of black baseball players from 1885 through 1907. The book has been reprinted as recently as 1995. White was also an excellent player, compiling a .356 batting average in five seasons in the integrated minor leagues. He also played for the philadelphia giants, a team he helped found, from 1902-1907.
