The Pitcher Time Forgot - by Michael Beschloss/ The Upshot/ International New York Times/ The New York Times/ nytimes.com

"This month in 1947 was the first time African-Americans played in the World Series. The two men were Brooklyn Dodgers. You probably know one of their names but not the other.

Jackie Robinson would go on to win his place as a courageous American pathbreaker, but his teammate, Dan Bankhead, the first black major league pitcher in modern baseball, has been almost forgotten..."
