As for Larry Doby, I don't know why he's ignored so much. Would be nice if maybe the AL honored him every couple of years.

Screw every other year
We all tend to forget
The AL and NL were two totaly completly different worlds.
They were different companies with different front offices and different commishes.
Their was no interleague play so all the AL teams played agasint one black face that seasons.
And it wasnt Jackie Robinsons
AL crowds saw one black face on the diamond
And again it wasnt Robinsons
Its a goddamn shame that Doby is not better known than he is.
July 5th should be just as important and April 15th
At the VERY least the Indians should wear Doby's # on July 5th
That is the bare minumum that baseball owes Doby
