S2 E6: Our Team
b'Larry Doby, Sr., became the second Black player in the MLB, and his home run during the \'48 World Series turned the series around for the Indians. Behind him stood the team\'s free-thinking owner, Bill Veeck, who wanted to upend the sport, opening his doors to Negro league players and bringing a carnival atmosphere into the stands. Baseball would never be the same again.
Guests:
