Really excited to win this in the recent Robert Edward Auction for my Integration collection.
1946 Puerto Rico contract of Larry Doby. Unlike many players in that era who played in Puerto Rico (like Roberto Clemente), Doby was not a fixture there, and only played there for a single season. He played for the San Juan Senators hitting .349 and leading the team in HR's. This was the offseason that immediately preceded 1947 when he became the first black player to play in the AL. I know that contracts are not everyone's cup of tea, but when I think of integration, I often think of the contracts as a hugely significant part. And winterball in PR was incredibly popular for players who were locked out of the American/National leagues.
