Thanks for the heads up. Just spent about 30 minutes walking around looking for a deli that still had a copy. Managed to snag one. Haven’t had a chance to read yet but there are some really nice pictures.

Doby was also the 2nd African-American MLB manager. The 2nd one in never gets his due. Think Alydar in racing's Triple Crown.

Don Newcomb passed away.
Newcomb, Jackie, Campy and Dobie led the way.
