FELLER, TRIBE TOP BROWNS
Bob struck out 11 and tripled in what turned out to be the GWRBI; Doby scored an 8th-inning insurance run. St. Louis fell a full game behind the Yankees.

#Baseball #trivia question for all reading this, not just the people tagged here.
One guess only.
Make it count!
Complete the sentence: “Larry Doby, Jackie Robinson, and Roberto Clemente are the only baseball players to …”

… to have been listed in this question by Yusuf.After that, I got nuthin’.
Edited for an actual idea in this.“…break a color line.”
Jackie broke the NL color line, Doby broke the AL color line, so I wonder if Clemente did something similar.

Ok, looks like I stumped the room.
Larry Doby, Jackie Robinson, and Roberto Clemente are the only #baseball players to have received the Congressional Medal of Honor.

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?
