Larry Doby - his efforts and struggles are overlooked in the wake of Jackie Robinson.
It should be remembered that he came up the same year in the other league before there was inter-league play...so, his treatment and 'reception' was most likely the same, though I have never read anything on it. Before coast-to-coast TV coverage, you would only see players live at games and, in American League only cities, the only black player was Larry Doby.
