George Washington Stovey (May 1866 – March 22, 1936) is considered the best African-American baseball pitcher of the 19th century, but discrimination barred him from the majors and led him to move from team to team until he had no further opportunities to play in the minors. In 1886 the New York Giants attempted to acquire Stovey but, according to an 1892 recollection by Pat Powers, who managed Stovey in Jersey City in the Eastern League in 1886, Cap Anson helped stop the arrangement.
