FELLER, TRIBE TOP BROWNS

Bob struck out 11 and tripled in what turned out to be the GWRBI; Doby scored an 8th-inning insurance run. St. Louis fell a full game behind the Yankees.

#Baseball #trivia question for all reading this, not just the people tagged here.

Edited for an actual idea in this.

“…break a color line.”

Jackie broke the NL color line, Doby broke the AL color line, so I wonder if Clemente did something similar.

Veeck had not thought through some basic questions, among them: What's the support network? What position will this guy play?
