Description

Larry Doby, Sr., became the second Black player in the MLB, and his home run during the '48 World Series turned the series around for the Indians. Behind him stood the team's free-thinking owner, Bill Veeck, who wanted to upend the sport, opening his doors to Negro league players and bringing a carnival atmosphere into the stands. Baseball would never be the same again.

Guests:
Larry Doby, Jr., son of Larry Doby, Sr.; union stage hand, Local One IATSE, New York City
Luke Epplin, author of "Our Team: The Epic Story of Four Men and the World Series That Changed Baseball"
