he surely endured hell but he couldn't hold jackie's jock

Said noted former player Rogers Hornsby, after watching Doby play one time in 1947: "Bill Veeck did the Negro race no favor when he signed Larry Doby to a Cleveland contract. If Veeck wanted to demonstrate that the Negro has no place in major league baseball, he could have used no subtler means to establish the point. If he were white he wouldn't be considered good enough to play with a semi-pro club. He is fast on his feet but that lets him out. He hasn't any other quality that could possibly recommend him."

Google is CIA they say and government run.For all the MLK days and now Robinson's birthday,they post their images.For Christmas and Easter they never post an image of Jesus Christ.Jesus Christ!

Fukk Google. They censor their internet shit in China and other foreign governments to appease them. Then they talk about wanting a free and open internet. Fukk them!

I've never actually looked up Doby's stats before. He may not be in Hornsby's class or HOF worthy (on performance alone), but he was pretty damn good. I'd say Hornsby probably made a much better player than scout.

Hornsby was an idiot Doby led the league in important stats including homers twice and played a tough defensive position

So you want them to put a picture of 'Jesus Christ' right? Well whats he look like? How does anyone know what this guy looked like? Oh wait hes the guy with long brown hair and a beard right?

No drawing or sculpture was ever made of 'Jesus' that remains. All we have are conceptions that people came up with centuries later.
