I agree that Larry Doby should have the same type of acknowledgments as Jamie Robinson. But Monte Irvin was supposed to be the first African American baseball player. The Newark Eagles would not allow him the star player to leave.
Willie Mays said that money Irvin was the best baseball player he had seen. And he help mentor Willie Mays when he came in to the league.
