More on #1947League hero Larry Doby, one of only three #baseball players to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. (Clemente, Robinson)
Doby's was arguably the more challenging path, given his youth and Veeck's "sudden immersion" approach to integrating the AL.

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

"I was never bitter because I believed in the man upstairs. | continue to do my best. I let someone else be bitter. If | was bitter, I was only hurting me. I prefer to remember Bill Veeck, Jim Hegan, and Joe Gordon, the good guys. There is no point in talking about the others."-Larry Doby
