Happy RIP Birthday to Lary Doby, The Man who Broke the American League Baseball Color Barrier

Most have heard of the great Jackie Robinson, the first black to play MLB. However, it was Lary Doby (December 13, 1923 – June 18, 2003), a professional baseball player in the Negro leagues who was the second black player to break baseball's color barrier. A seven-time All-Star, he and Satchel Paige were the first African-American players to win a World Series championship when the Indians won in 1948. Thanks for your courage, determination, and willingness to go where no black man had gone before, Lary. Here we send a special thanks to Bill Veeck (rhymes with "wreck"), the team owner who brought you into MLB.
