1988 Larry Doby Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Original TYPE I Photo

Larry Doby was an American baseball pioneer who became the first Black player in the American League when he debuted with the Cleveland Indians on July 5, 1947, a few months after Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. Born in Camden, South Carolina, he starred in the Negro Leagues before joining the majors, endured racial prejudice, and became a seven-time All-Star and key contributor to Cleveland’s 1948 World Series title. Doby was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998 for his trailblazing career and impact on the game
