In 1947, Larry had only 32 At Bats. The following year when Satchell Paige joined the Indians, Doby played in 121 games (BA = .301).
He batted .318 in the World Series. I think he was overshadowed by Paige's enormous popularity back then. ![]() ![]() TED Z T206 Reference . |

Does Larry have any cards that aren't great looking?

I picked this one up recently, and have always loved the balanced shot. Topps did a great job with the layout...

True, but all the cards in that set are pretty ugly. All of his other cards are nice though.
