Phil,

Thank you for posting this article!

Some of my favorite players and cards ever are of the early integrators.

Here'a 1963 Scheible Press Ozzie Virgil, a 1946-47 Carmelo Deportivo Minnie Minoso, a snapshot of Larry Doby, and what may be the ultimate integration-themed card, a 1950 Hage's of NFL pioneer Kenny Washington, who played a couple games for the Los Angeles Angels in the PCL in 1950.

If I recall correctly, any player who didn’t like having new teammate Larry Doby with the Cleveland Indians was soon sent packing by Bill Veeck
