Neale Henderson (June 24, 1930 – December 27, 2018),[1][2] nicknamed "Bobo", was an American Negro league baseball shortstop.

[2] In there, he honed his skills at San Diego High School, where he excelled in baseball, football and track and field, winning three titles as an infielder for the Coast League Baseball champion team [3] and two titles as the starting quarterback of the Coast League Football squad,[3] becoming the first African-American quarterback to earn that accomplishment.

[1] His introduction to the Negro leagues came early on in 1937, when he was seven years old, and was used as a batboy for the Kansas City Monarchs in an exhibition game against the Homestead Grays in Fort Smith.

He was promoted to the big team in 1950, where he moved to outfield to make room for a shortstop prospect named Ernie Banks.

At this time, he played for baseball and football teams at Camp Roberts in California and Fort Lewis in Washington.
