MLB Network looks back at Don Newcombe's incredible career and the impact he had on the game.

[Brooklyn Dick]

Newcombe was the best hitting pitcher ever in baseball. Lifetime average of 271 with 15 Home Runs. He was used many times as a pinch hitter. Not counting Babe Ruth of course.

A pioneer who paved the way for so many others by dealing with hatred and bigotry, making sure that the generations after him would not have to experience half of the hatred that he received. Cheers Don.
