Box Score of the Week

Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox - July 5, 1947.

-----------------------------------

Nearly three months after Jackie Robinson broke MLB's color barrier by becoming the first black player in the league, Larry Doby made his debut with the Indians in this game. While Doby was the second black player to play in the big leagues, he has the distinction of being the first in the American League.
