I could not agree more. People like Larry Doby, and the others who played right around the time of Jackie Robinson endured Racial Hardships as well but get ZERO recognition for it. They should just rename Jackie Robinson Day "Baseball Civil Rights Day" and allow the players or teams to pick the Black/Latin Pioneers they want to recognize and honor. The Pirates could wear Clemente's number and honor him IF they want to etc. It is great that we honor Jackie but sad that todays fans have such a narrow view of Baseball History as a result.
