Alex Remington over at Fangraphs had a tremendous article earlier this month on Larry Doby and the official integration of the American League on July 5, 1947. Doby's legacy is being celebrated around these parts this week during this weekend's series, presumably because 14 was Doby's number and this Saturday will be July 14.
To join in the spirit and honor a ballplayer from my home state, CCC will be focusing on the Negro Leagues for the next few days.
