Great post. Huge props to all of those who stood up and fought for integration among students... and integration among athletes. Our country is a much better place for it.
ReplyDeleteGo Dodgers!
ReplyDeleteWell done
ReplyDeleteIt's beyond sad it took the Red Sox 12 years after Robinson debuted to finally integrate. I read somewhere they passed on Willie Mays even.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! The fact you let the pictures talk for themselves is just tremendous.
ReplyDeleteI wrote and deleted three versions of this post before coming to that conclusion. Like what more can I say that they aren't already saying in uniform?
Deleteexcellent post.the red sox gave jackie robinson a sham tryout.
ReplyDeleteLike everybody else has already said, this was an awesome post... lots of great cards too!
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent! I had no idea the Browns were the next team to integrate after the famed Robinson-Doby signings.
