New Jewish Major Leaguer Discovery - Fred Graf - 1913 St. Louis Browns
From Peter Horvitz, who wrote The Big Book of Jewish Baseball

Perhaps the discovery should have been made sooner? From baseball reference.
Buried: Mizpah Cemetery, Chattanooga, TN From the web: Established in 1866 by the Hebrew Benevolent Association, Mizpah Congregation Cemetery became the first Jewish cemetery in Chattanooga , serving the congregation whose name it bears.
