Larry Doby never got the real credit he was due. Jackie Robinson was the first black American to play in the MLB, but Larry Doby was the first in the American League.
He was a great player, and a great man (from what I’ve read). Cleveland should be proud to have been a leader in the charge for racial equality.
I agree with you completely, bma. So glad to see Larry Doby getting some recognition.
I was fortunate enough to know Larry and I am close with his children. A more deserving man does not exist!
