I agree wholeheartedly. But we won't allow a fake name on the board and/or on registration. Now if this person, presumably a girl, emails back and takes out the name under their id, then no issue on reinstatement.

I would say Burns missed the mark on Larry Doby and others who immediately followed Robinson.

The series focused almost as much on integration and Jackie Robinson as it did on Baseball itself. But the other African American "pioneers" garnered only a brief mention. Many of them followed Jackie's footsteps by a mere few weeks, and faced similar hatred and racial issues. But you wouldn't know it, based on the way it was portrayed.

I don't have any good photos to share, but hope this addresses the OP's question... man, woman, transgender, or otherwise.
