"That interview saying they just didn't want to go above a 10% ownership. But certainly it didn't help Credit Suisse at a very fragile time and yeah, they say it's for personal reasons, but it does, it does look related. Yeah, so what comes next over at Saudi national bank following that resignation? We got about a minute left here. Well, they're getting a stake in UBS as part of this deal. It's obviously much diminished stake than what they had in Credit Suisse. We'll see if they hang on to that or if they just look to cut their losses there. This has been this investment has kind of been an anchor on Saturday national bank shares and they have their own growth ambition so they may just look to move on and focus on their own business. Thanks for this great having gone with this morning. Following the SVB deal, certainly that's Michael Moore managing editor for EME finance at Bloomberg news. Karen. Nathan, it is 5 49 on Wall Street. It is Monday, march 27th and march is women's history month. Every day this month we're celebrating significant moments in women's history and now if you're installment for today, here's Bloomberg's Lisa Matteo. On this day in women's history in 1897, FM Manley, the first woman inducted into the national baseball Hall of Fame is born, although she grew up in Philadelphia, Manley's love for the game grew when she moved to New York after high school, watching Babe Ruth play at Yankee Stadium. She also became an active civil rights leader. In 1935, Manley was able to merge her two passions into one as the co owner of the Newark eagles with her husband Abe. She fought for compensation for team owners and recognition of the Negro league's contracts, the team went on to win the Negro league World Series in 1946, mainly sold the club to a group of investors in 1948. That's today in women's history, I'm Lisa Matteo, Bloomberg radio. All right, Lisa, thank you. It is 5 50 on Wall Street. It's time for our daily Bloomberg law brief exploring legal issues in the news, and today we're looking at a case that brought some laughter to the Supreme Court for a change. The maker of Jack Daniel's whisky is suing over a dog toy called bad spaniels that mimics the spirit makers iconic bottle, but with poop jokes, is it a parody? Or is it a trademark infringement? Bloomberg is doing Grasso discuss the case with intellectual property litigator, Terence Ross, a partner at cat and mucin rosenman. Terry, so many of the Supreme Court arguments are so weighty, so heavy, but not this one. I mean, the humor at times seemed to sink to the level of the dog toy here. And this is a case we've been waiting for. I thought the actual argument particularly from the solicitor general's office was particularly good and cut through a lot of murkiness and straight to the heart of the issue. I thought the tone of the questioning did, as you describe it, descend a little bit into the gutter. For reasons I can't explain over about a year, year and a half now, this court with its new makeup seems to be unable to approach intellectual property cases without using a raft of examples, many of which are sort of ludicrous and really don't advance the ball much. But that has been the name of the game in intellectual property cases. You go to the Supreme Court to argue one of those and you better be prepared for a bunch of rather silly examples being tossed at you and that's how this hypothetical works now. That hypothetical works. Does a parody have to be good because justice Elena Kagan said she didn't get it, how this was a parody. Yeah, when I heard justice Kagan asked that question and say, she didn't get it. I think the way she phrased it is something like maybe I'm the only one here who doesn't get it. And I felt like jumping up and said, no, I don't get it too. I don't see where the parity is. I mean, I would go so far as to describe this as merely sophomore at humor and as Groucho Marx would say that's even an insult to sophomores. I don't see what the parody is and it wasn't just as cake and at one point justice Jackson chimed in such he didn't get it either. So this is one of the whole problems with the Rogers test. I mean, what's Rogers test as in its pure form is that the name of a celebrity used in the title of an expressive work does not constitute trademark infringement if it is artistically relevant and not explicitly misleading and varies justice attack. What does it mean to be artistically relevant? Other justices attack what's an expressive work? Is everything that has a statement on a T-shirt and expressive work automatically? And yes, one other justice, I believe it was justice courts. Attacked this concept of what does it mean to be explicitly misleading since the standard under the lanham act, the trademark loss is confusion? Not misleading. And so there seemed to be this consensus on the court that the test was very difficult to understand or apply. And that's Terrence Ross, the

"Yeah. Or from like little league. Or something. Yeah, 21st round draft pick by the Astros in 2016 as a four year old. He went to big chuck, his grandfather told him he wanted to be a baseball player when he grew up and big chuck and little chuck were both there and around to see him make his debut. So that was just a wonderful story for multiple levels. And I blame everyone for not alerting me to this factory. Because you all know we don't talk about the red, so you have to inform you. You have to tell us stuff about the reds, you know? The newsworthy happens with the reds. You gotta let us know. Thank you. All right. And lastly, we get to the Colorado Rockies. And we really didn't get any suggestions for the rockies. Rocky's good rocky stories. It wasn't much out there. So fortunately, I saw a story that was very well timed published this week by MLB dot com that supplied me with a fun little rockies entry here. So this was published on boxing day by Sam dykstra and it was these 5 minor league systems improved most in 2022. So this was going by the preseason and end of season MLB pipeline, organizational rankings, which probably mirror other systems, other sites, and outlets, but the rockies were number one on this list because their pre season rank according to pipeline was 24th and their re rank at the end of the season was 9th. And so they made the biggest climb and the blurb mentioned that at the beginning of the season, they had only one top 100 prospect Zack veen, whom we have discussed. He is still at the top of the rockies list, but now they have Ezekiel tovar and adiel amador and drew Romo and tovar had a big season. He was known as a defensive shortstop and then he hit better at double-A and he actually made the majors toward the end of the season. Which we may have mentioned and then they drafted Gonzaga right hander Gabriel Hughes, tenth overall in the draft and so that gave them a good high ceiling pitcher to go with the other guys. So the rockies now at least according to pipeline have a top ten system after being almost about 5 system to start the year. So that's good. Congrats, rocky's that's a nice positive story. And the other teams that had the biggest improvements, the reds were second. The guardians and the cubs and the nationals. So other than the guardians, pretty uncompetitive teams, which is what you would expect, I guess, that those would be the teams making farm system gains. So the guardians, I mean, even more encouraging right that they had such a young team and then also in improving pharma system and they won the division, just but we'll get to that in the AL edition of this. But something to feel good about on the farm at least for rocky spins. I maintain that the most exciting thing was went in Bernard making the majors in 2020 two, but I've already made my case for that in a major major league. Yep. So, you know, what are you gonna do? All right, well that concludes that exercise, or at least the NL edition, and we will wrap up with the AL teams later in the week. And I'll just give you the past blast. This is episode 1947. Big year in baseball history. And this past blast comes from Jacob ranky sabers director of editorial content and chair of the black Sox scandal research committee, and he writes 1947 and then there were two. For nearly two years after the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson in 1945, Brooklyn was the only AL or NL team that seemed to show much interest in signing black players. Before Robinson made his historic debut in 1947, the Dodgers also went out and signed future Hall of Famer Roy campanella and star pitcher Don newcombe, along with several other Negro leagues veterans, but no other teams followed brand tricky's lead, the Dodgers also might have added a third Hall of Famer to their roster in Larry doby, who instead became the first black player in American League history when he made his debut with Cleveland on July 5th, 1947, one week later, on July 12th, 1947, Wendell Smith of the Pittsburgh courier wrote about how close the Dodgers came to signing Adobe. Quote, if Cleveland had waited a little longer, they would have missed getting Larry dobrik's signature on a contract. At the time, Cleveland grabbed the hard hitting second basement of the Newark eagles, the Brooklyn Dodgers were trailing him night and day, although doby did not know it himself, the Dodgers had a scout eyeing him in every game he had played for the past three weeks. It could be that Cleveland knew the Dodgers were hounding the Negro second basement and stole a march on them by snatching him from right under branch Ricky's nose. The Dodgers planned to sign Adobe and send him to Montreal on the Dodgers last trip to Chicago Ricky dispatched a wire to his Brooklyn office and ordered his scouts to quote get back on dobie's trail and also to start negotiating with mister and misses Abe Manley, owners of the Newark team for his contract. Bill Veck, the liberal and personable owner of Cleveland has been interested in a Negro player ever since he purchased the club. He first heard of dobes winter when Bill nunn, managing editor of the Pittsburgh courier, went to Cleveland and discussed the entire idea with him. At the time, vec assured none that he wouldn't hesitate to sign any grow player if he were good enough to make the grade, none saying the praises of dobe and urged vec to look the kid over real good and of course he did and signed Toby and dobie went on to his own great Hall of Fame career, although he struggled initially and there was an instant with the former effectively wild guess the late Eddie Robinson, who was initially upset that he had lost his job to Adobe and felt he had been told something different and guaranteed job security, but eventually dopey became a regular in solidified his spot on the rest of the following season and went on to a great career. Jacob concludes doby didn't see much playing time in 1947, but he switched to center field and emerged as a star in 48, helping Cleveland win its most recent World Series championship. He played 13 more seasons and was elected to the hall in 1998. Meanwhile, the St. Louis browns became the third ale or NL team to field black players in 1947 when they signed Hank Thompson and future Hall of Famer Willard Brown from the Kansas City monarchs in mid July, although that didn't go quite as well because they hadn't really laid the groundwork for that. That the Dodgers and other teams did. Anyway, the Dodgers could have had campanella Robinson and dopey. I guess it's for the best that those players were spread around a little bit more and that other teams got in on the action. However belatedly. Yep. All right, update on the wire's new bar pepper grinder. This product at fan

"Boy. He's a met. Incredible. All right, well, after we finished recording, the mets made a couple more moves. I know who could have seen that coming. I guess the first one actually would have surprised us. They signed another infielder, Danny mendick, just what they needed, more predictably, and in fact we had alluded to this possibility. They traded catcher James McCann to the Orioles, and as we said, if they traded one of these players who was newly redundant, it wouldn't be so much because they absolutely had to save money. In this case, they'll still be paying for most of McCann's contract 19 million of the $24 million remaining, but they thought he didn't really have a place on the team anymore, so hey, they get 5 million and they get a player to be needed later. We'll see what Metz moves tomorrow brings. Another thing that happened after we finished recording is that Jacob and ranki sent me a pass blast, which I will share with you now Jacob is Sabres director of editorial content and chair of the black Sox scandal research committee and this is episode 1945, so the past blast comes from 1945 and Jacob writes 1945. He never had it made. The story of Jackie Robinson signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers on October 23rd, 1945, has been well documented, less well known is the story of his future teammate, homestead gray's pitcher John Wright, who was quietly signed by Dodgers president bridge Ricky a few weeks later. It was John Wright signing that prompted Negro league's team owners to rise up in protest at branch Ricky's blatant disregard of their players contracts and what they correctly perceived as an existential threat to the future of the black baseball leagues. Here's a report from the St. Louis globe Democrat on November 13th, 1945. Quote, the Negro national and American leagues revealed today that they had filed an official protest with baseball commissioner AB happy Chandler on the signing of Jackie Robinson, a member of the Kansas City monarchs by Brooklyn president branch Ricky for the Dodgers Montreal farm in the international league. In a letter addressed to Chandler, the two league president said they wished it understood they were glad to see Negro players get the opportunities to play in white organized baseball, but were protesting the way it was done. Charging Ricky with piracy, doctor J B Martin, president of the Negro American League and Tom Wilson national league Prix insisted that Robinson had made a verbal agreement to play with the monarchs in 1946, but was lured away by the Dodgers bus. They also charged representatives of the Dodgers with tampering with organized Negro baseball players naming one, John Wright, a pitcher of the homestead grays, who spent last season in the armed services. Brand tricky was not immediately available for comment at the time he signed Robinson Ricky said he considered Negro league baseball quote in the zone of a racket. Martin and Wilson said that the two Negro league circuits operate on constitutions keep minutes of their meetings and have player contracts just the same as any white league. They exhibited a copy of a letter from Clark Griffith, president of the Washington senators, praising them on their stand and urging them to protect the existence of the two Negro leagues against anyone trying to tear it down. I imagine he may have had other motives for sending that letter. Jacob concludes their protests were ignored by commissioner happy Chandler and branch Ricky, who later said he didn't consider the Negro national league in American leagues to be really leagues at all. Ricky and other white baseball owners continued to raid the two Negro leagues of their best players for years to come only occasionally paying out pennies on the dollar for future stars such as Monte ervin of the Newark eagles, Willie Mays of the Birmingham black barons and Henry Aaron of the Indianapolis clowns, the Negro national league folded in 1948 and the Negro American League limped along until 1960. Meanwhile, John Wright was assigned to the Montreal royals with Robinson in 1946, but he struggled to adapt to the white minor leagues and was released by the Dodgers in January 1947. Three months before Robinson was called up to Brooklyn to make his historic debut. I'm glad Jacob chose to highlight this one because as much as branch Ricky is deservedly celebrated for being the one to give Robinson a chance, a, he did have other motivations besides this the moral rectitude of breaking the color barrier and B, there was a cost to that, and obviously he didn't go about it in a way that showed great respect for the teams and leagues he was poaching these players

We especially look forward to your calls that our and of course, Leon Day and Todd Bolton are invited to stay with us. Through the entire program, But I don't think we're going to make it through the entire show. It depends on how much energy we got. Right guys. We apologize friends for the lengthy introduction tonight, but realizing how few of you listeners were aware of the Negro baseball leagues, much less the Star player who resides to this day right here in Baltimore, we decided to fill you in before we get down to business. Leon Day was born in Alexandria, Virginia. On October 30th 1916 versatile player, Leon played both second base and the outfield in this 22 year career. He was a switch hitter who was consistently around the 300 mark. One time day was locked in a 00 pitching battle with his old rival, central page. He on several matters by home Marine off such in the ninth inning, the score the game's only run and pocket the victory. As a matter of fact, they won three out of four starts against Page and his seven East West All Star Game appearances stand as a record for the Negro Meeks. Leon played professional baseball for 22 years, summer and winter and half a dozen countries. He appeared in a record seven Negro League All Star games between 1935 and 1946 and set an all Star record by striking out a total of 14 batters. His best season was in 1937. When in league play, he finished the 61 game season going 13 to 0 with a 00.3 20 average. You know, I was telling Leon I made this terrible mistake when I was making a comment on his wonderful Leon Day Day, and I said his batting average. I abbreviated three. Oh, and I really did mean 300. I said, I was so terribly embarrassed. I got it right tonight at 3 20 average during winter ball in 1939 to 1940. Leon Day established a new Puerto Rican league record for strikeouts in a single game with 19. He also led the league that winner with 168 strikeouts in 1942. Leon Day established a Negro League record. By striking out 18 Baltimore He like Giants in a single game later that year, 1942 during the All Star game, he and Satchel Paige each entered the game against each other in the seventh inning. With the score tied 2 to 2 Leon face seven batters struck five of them out the last four in succession to end the game and beat page 5 to 1942 Leon was named to the Pittsburgh carriers All start. Boy, We got a lot of stuff when you telling Yeah American team for the Negro Leagues, Day and page were rated the two best pictures that they being rated over page. The paper said. Quote Leon Day is the best picture in Negro baseball, despite the fact that he was used daily, either as a pitcher, outfielder or infielder 1943 the day of the year I was born he was named by the Pittsburgh Courier is the outstanding mounds, men and Negro Baseball 1946. After 2.5 years in the Army, Listen to this guys. Leon came back and pitched an opening day no hitter against the Philadelphia Stars. He went nine and for that year with a means the 4 69 batting average, topping the league that season wins, strikeouts, innings pitched and complete games and in 1951 at the age of 35 with Toronto and the Triple A International League. Leon finished the season with at one point 58 earned run average. Leon Day spent the latter part of his career pitching as you call it, Triple A. Can. I call it that Triple A sounds? Well, I know that is triple a baseball for Winnipeg and Brandon in the Canadian League and finally retired at the age of 41 in 1956 Day, began his playing career with the Baltimore black socks in 1934. The same year they moved to Chester, Pennsylvania. He returned in 1949 to play for the champion Baltimore Relight Giants. Most of us playing years, however, war spent with the Newark Eagles Monte Irvin says quote day was as good as or better than Bob Gibson. Larry Doby notes that quote he didn't see anybody in the major leagues. That was better. Well. Welcome.

That was a fine time You've been having the last couple days, Leon and we understand it's far from over because Governor William Donald Schaefer Has something special planned for you in the weeks ahead, Leon.

But I'm just discovering now that it does. In the first half are we talked about signers of the declaration of Independence that you may have never heard of. I think a lot of people have heard of this baseball player, but plenty more should and here to chat about him. And all of his accomplishment is Luke Epling, who is the author of the epic story of Four Men in the World Series that changed baseball and Luke. I also appreciate that the day we have you on the show. You have an op ed in The Washington Post. Thanks for timing that together for us. Oh, it's It certainly was planned. Thank you. The name is Larry Doby, who on the state in 1947 broke the color barrier in the American League right here in Chicago in a game for the Cleveland Indians versus the White Sox. Larry played for Cleveland, of course, and Luke before we get into more about that team and his legacy. I wanted you to just talk about the 24 hours that Larry Doby went through. Between July the 4th 1947 and July the 5th 1947. Yeah. Larry Doby played on a Negro league team called the Newark Eagles. They had won the Negro League World Series Championship in 1946. He came back in 1947 and was just tearing up. The league was leading the league in home runs. Had a tremendous value an average that was approaching 400. He attracted the attention of the Indians, particularly their owner, Bill Veeck, who decided not to send Larry Doby down to the minor leagues as Jackie Robinson had been before he desegregated Dodgers but to put right onto the Indians, and so on July 4th 1947 Larry Doby played a game for the Newark Eagles, where he had a home run. He rushed through a shower went to Newark, Penn Station took an overnight train. From Newark sensation to Chicago and within 24 hours, he journeyed overnight from the Negro leagues to the major leagues that next afternoon, he students up to the Cleveland Indians. How many weeks after Jackie Robinson's debut Does Larry Doby break the color barrier in the American League? Jackie Robinson debuted on April 15th 1947 Dobie on July 5th 1947. So it's about 11 weeks, So it's not that much of the other difference. And Jackie Robinson desegregated the National League. Larry Doby is in the American League at a time whenever those teams did not play each other except for in the World Series. So really, he was the pioneer in the American League. What was that day? As much of it as we know, like at Comiskey Park, Do we have any Stories about what the day was how he batted, how he did what the fans reaction was. Barry Dobie had come. Larry Doby insulted not learned about, um, the fact that he was going to be the first black player in the American League and told about two days before it happened, so he was still kind of in a state of shock. He had really wrapped his mind. Around it. He comes into the Indians clubhouse. Nobody on the India's those he is. He doesn't really know who hardly any of them are. They line up to shake his hand, and several players in the Indians refused to do so, Um, is the word has leaked out across Chicago that Larry Doby is going to desegregate the American League, so tons of black fans had sort of flooded into Comiskey Park to witness this historic event. When Doby comes onto the field for warm ups, they gave him a very warm ovation. Then Darby's teammates pair up to euro balls to each other to sort of warm up and nobody. Uh, nobody wants to do so with him. So don't be standing there all alone in the middle of Comiskey Park, and it's a sort of hurt feeling that he would reference time and time again throughout his life. He only gets up once as a pinch hitter, and he would say later that he didn't even realize what was going. Going on. It was as though he was in the dream, You know, well, the day before he was in the Negro leagues, and now here he is stepping to the plate on the Indians. He would also tell a writer that the first several times he came up to bat in the major leagues. He was so nervous he could not stop his teeth from chattering. And so he does end up striking out and it's only at back that that day and he really is kind of in a, uh, in almost like a dream like fog. At that time I find it interesting. The two storylines and you detail is so well in today's come The Washington Post the op ed I knew that Jackie Robinson went off to a roaring start, of course, won rookie of the year if I'm not mistaken, uh, but Larry Doby, that strikeout was unfortunately harbinger of his 47 season from July to the end of it, right. Yeah. So he has a second basement in the Negro leagues and the Indians infield at this time in 1947 is completely stocked. You've got Hall of Famers at second and shortstop and Joe Gordon and Lou Boudreau and then you have sort of great player at third base named Kim Keltner. It was only really at first base that they thought Larry Doby could try out..

"They've got guys to step in just time after time, and they keep coming through, so and then you've got you know, with the right headed hitting lineup. Later on. You've got a bunch of left hand hitters coming off the bench if you need it, so it's been really interesting. Yeah. Capitalist plan is working and and it's one of the It's one of the great things that they still need to hit better with guys on base, But you know, last night in particular. Diesel. Funny was so good. They just needed a couple of turkey hits and they got him and just a quick note on that to get good for Kapler, letting him go out for the night. So that was terrific. Actually wish he'd let him finish. Finish the game and we're listening to Crewe Co. Then he goes. You're talking about finishing a game complete games. He gets to get that 27th out. There's no feeling like it. It's the greatest feeling in the world. And you can't imagine what it does do a guy's confidence and I wish they'd let him getting take another shot at that 27th out. But these days, if you let a guy go go eight and two thirds it's unbelievable. Well, it was. You know, anytime you you get to save situation they always try to give somebody is safe. But I I was I'm all with you Listening to the game. I said, Yeah. Eight and two thirds. Come on. You got a 5 to 2 lead, and, you know, it's not like you're bringing John Blanchard up off the bench. Or, you know Jerry Lynch Jerry Lynch. Hey, we got very lucky Moto today. We got him in the show today. Very good, Bruce. Very good. Yeah. Dave Philly. Really? But yeah, I I agree with you, but he's an All Star and Gausman is not going to be an all star, obviously, because he's going to pitch Sunday. The Graham is out as well. And I would think Walker Buehler in disco. Funny. I mean, I would think you'd add those two No, absolutely. I mean, Walker Buehler, you know, gets a He's a lot more of a marquee name. He's been nothing but great since he came up and display fine. It's kind of resurrecting his career. So I think Bueller probably the first guy they look at, but absolutely it anti, Sclafani said. He didn't really have anything about going last night. You didn't have good stuff at all. And I think that's getting old. Yes, Yes, Yes, with that in his last start to that He just mauled everybody to Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, We had something. I'll tell you that. I think we're going to stop asking him that question in as Bill Parcells said. Your record speaks for itself. Yeah, He's been terrific. He really has been terrific Bill 27 outs. Were you surprised They pulled him at that last out. After eight innings because rubber you up and they were talking about him going eight innings. You still had 90 pitches when he went back out there. I was, like, okay, finish this thing because that's what you're out. Therefore And when you look at Herman Marquis, he's the only one who's got three complete games. He's at all stars. So I was thinking maybe capital is trying to push him to equal Marquez with three said, But you know I'm right with you guys. I mean, he should have just got one more hitter, tried one more. During the game. You know you saw Capital go out and talk to him. I'm loving that he's talking to his starters. He's not just pulling them before he talks to him. He's changed a little bit on that point, but my question to you today. Both you guys if you know, you know. Last night, the Giants played their only night game. They were the only team to play Nike me even though 6 15 was the start today, they're the first came up and they had to travel. Does the players association approved the schedule? Bruce? Do you know that if they have anything to do with it? Yeah, I'm really not on the inside of that. I'm not. I'm not sure how that works, but, um, no. I'm a little bit in the dark there, but I mean, it's it's good they're playing. I mean, it's not really a day game today. I don't know how it works. Is my answer. Marty. Yeah, I I think there's something about going time zones. Uh And then if you have a night game, which is I guess last night was a six of six dead started night game. And this is Is it a day game at 305? I don't know. But there are rules. Uh, you know, in this last agreement that said, you can't have these crazy trips, you know, play a game in New York on Sunday night. And a day game in San Francisco on Monday, so I would think there probably is something in there, Bill. Yeah, it doesn't come up very often as it used to who are really egregious violations of just you know, decency? Yeah, I don't. I don't think so. In that one. Hey, Um, Bruce, uh, we did want to touch on Larry Doby today. Uh, and that overlook him at all. July 5th 1947. He integrates the American League. We had Bob Kendrick on Saturday night from the Negro League Baseball Museum to tell the story. But you and I have done this show for so many years together, and each year we we recognize Larry Doby in his contribution to American society, baseball and what a tough time he had is just as a young 22 year old breaking into baseball. Yeah, I mean, you know he wasn't the first. But in the meantime, in 1947 he gets brought up around the All Star breakfast a few weeks after Jackie Robinson breaks in a few months, and he's the only black guy the American League. Come on. I mean that there were no interleague games. It's not like he and Jackie can get together before an interleague game and talk about what's what's going on here is the only black guy in the American League went through the same kind of thing. Jackie Robinson did and overcame it the same way as he said, You know, I just fought back all the stuff that came happy by playing as hard as they could and being one of the best the best players in the league, which he absolutely was. I mean, he was an all star every year for like, six years running. He led the league in just about anything you can name, including homers and RBIs along the way he was Almost the M V P for Yogi Bera, 1 1954 m v P. Magdalena was second he started and you know, they got to the Cleveland got to the series in 48. He became the first black player to hit, you know, Homer in the World Series off Johnny saying, no less. So he had a wonderful, wonderful career he played for in the Negro leagues. He was with the Newark Eagles. He's a New Jersey guy player from the Newark Eagles, and one year they knocked off the Legendary Kansas City Monarchs with Satchel Paige to win the that leader Leagues title. So really a very nice career. Um, I think he really wanted to top it off by being a manager, and it was it was. It was tough all the way into the seventies. You know he hadn't seen one. Finally, Frank Robinson breaks Tra in 77. I'm sorry. It was at 75 with Cleveland, but but Larry Doby was the second black manager in major league history with the White Sox. They fired. They fired Bob Lemon, and he took over and it just didn't work out. They went like 37 50, and he never got another chance. I think that that really bothered him. Yeah. I build you familiar with Larry Doby and Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I grew up in Ohio. So he was a Cleveland Indian, and that was one of the things you need to follow the Indians and the Tigers and the Reds. That's kind of what I followed at and You know, I remember him being an all star. He seemed like he was in an All Star game every year, and I was just looking up seven time All star. That was one of the major things I remember about Larry Doby and some of the things that Bruce has said You can't put exclamation points around that because he just had a fabulous career. Of course, his numbers retired also, and you know that was that kind of guy that everybody kind of knew. But he wasn't that big name that everybody wanted to be that superstar when he was on a really good team. Yeah, Cleveland team had had a bunch of great and amazing pitching staff, which is really kind of the ongoing story of those Indians teams, Early win and Bob Feller and those guys Bob Lemon Garcia, but But he was an absolute mainstay. And as you said, you know the plan and all it was a fixture in the All Star game, which is very, very cool. He really He really made a tremendous career. You know, for himself against against heavy odds back then serious odds. Well, he's such a young man, and when they introduced them into the clubhouse, you know they signed them on July 3rd. Now it's July 5th. They get them in the game, and he strikes out and they basically don't use them much the rest of the year. But in the clubhouse when they brought him in, people just turned away, even shake his hand. And now we're not talking about Jackie Robinson, who's you know made issues on the bus. While he was in the Army, U C L A star and all the the Fabric that Jackie had to deal with all this stuff..

"Is the author of our team. The epic story of four men and the world series. That change baseball located dylan. I'm doing great. Thanks thanks for joining me very excited about this. I remember reading about this book as it was about to come out in the spring and i was like that is going to be great. I obviously got great reviews. A great response The men reference in the title there for key members of the cleveland organization. Owner bill beck. That you're bob feller pitcher satchel page and of course larry doby They would win the world series. And we're coming up on the seventy fourth anniversary of dobies debut july fifth Or nine hundred. Forty seven Most casual fans. No dobie is the first african american in american league history How did you feel about. Larry doby at the end of the project. Because you know in you know as you go into it but by the time he got to the end. How did you feel about him. Yeah it's funny. I actually didn't know a lot about larry doby. Whenever i started the book i knew him. As sort of an answer to a trivia question as you said the first black player in the american league the second black layer after jackie robinson in the twentieth century. But other than that he was kind of a mystery to me and This sort of courage and perseverance that he had to have to do what he did. He went straight from the negro leagues to the major leagues with no training and between it was kind of like an overnight journey into the majors that differed very significantly from jackie robinson zone journey. And so it really was a sort of singular experience that he went under and so just assertive See him struggle through it and then have this incredible year in nineteen forty eight. The really helped the indians to the to the world series made me just appreciate his gifts in sort of almost be a little sad that his story hasn't been as well told as as perhaps robinson's. Yeah we we obviously know a lot about jackie robinson. There been so many books written you know the movie. Forty two How did larry doby handle this. Well it was. It was a real shock to his system. He found out that he was going to be signed by the cleveland indians. Only about two days before it happened he played a game for the newark eagles. Which part of the negro national league on july fourth nineteen forty seven took an overnight train to chicago where the indians were playing the white sox and the very next day. he was in a uniform with the cleveland. Indians he later told sportswriter. Wendell smith that during his first several bats in the majors he was so nervous that his teeth chattering He was often segregated from his teammates. Shunted off to separate accommodations He roomed by himself. He was he sort of struggled with loneliness and sort of tremendous Racial abuse as well as a cold shoulder for some of his teammates and so during that first year. Nineteen forty seven. He really struggled. It seemed like he was not major league material but then in nineteen forty. Eight as i mentioned he has this tremendous comeback where he is just sort of constantly spurring the indians whenever they are hitting a rough patch. And he's really the catalyst that help them through that season. Yeah i was thinking about this today. I was getting ready to talk to. You know we talk about jackie robinson Because he was the first african american to play in mlb but they were effectively sixteen. I there were sixteen team. Sixteen sets a players clubhouse cultures fan bases so dobie had the same set of challenges. The jackie robinson did i. You know. I've seen things written in the past about how jackie robinson may have made it easier. For someone's there's nobody was going to make it easier for larry doby with what he dealt with. So how did he turned the corner from that from those initial struggles into the second year and headed. The you know. The the cleveland franchise view him after that first year. Because you know in a part of the reason why branch rickey Chose jackie robinson was because he felt like you know what the. I is a player who has to have immediate success. And as you mentioned. Larry doby didn't yeah. And there was kind of a pattern that if a black layers did not sort of excel right off. The bat is jackie. Robinson sorta did after a slightly patch the beginning they were sent back to either the miners or to the negro leagues altogether Dobie was able to sort a weather. The storm a bit because he had a very supportive owner in bill. Vac who knew the dobie had talent and practiser patients and allowing dobie to find his footing within the league. Dobie found a community of a black clevelanders. At that time he lived with a guy named arthur grant who dobie had served within the navy And that allowed him to sort of form a community that he drew strength from me also drew strength from his wife And then there were several cleveland coaches. That really helped him. Along with bill mckechnie and true speaker. Who who was from texas and And really signed doby a tremendous talent. Dobie not only came back in nineteen forty eight after having kind of a disastrous nineteen forty seven season which he won fifty six. He had been an infielder and the negro leagues. The indians told him after the night. Forty seven season. You need to learn how to do the outfield. He was so inexperienced in the outfield. He was checking out books from the library. And the off season called how to play the outfield. He didn't know how to play it. And he just learns it on the fly while being the sole individual of a black player in the american league during the nineteen forty eight season so not only is he dealing with sort of the challenges that come with being a pioneer. He's learning entirely new position position and he just kind of attacks it with with the tenacity that that he'd shown earlier in his athletic career. What really stood out to you. Is you research bill. Vac why i mean. He's one of the pioneers in baseball. In terms of marketing the sport in terms of trying to make the sport more popular but i. I've always thought of him as being you know. There's going to be the natural comparison to to branch rickey I've always thought bill. Back is being more progressive and thought whereas ricky was more of a pragmatist and a businessman Tell me what you thought you felt about bill beck. Yeah i mean. I'm someone who comes from st louis and so i grew up here in stories about that on the st louis browns. And so i got almost like a carnival. Ization picture of bill deck where he was shooting off fireworks doing sort of outrageous stunts and promotions. And things like this. He was the guy with eddie goodell. Put the plates that sort of thing. Yeah yeah that was more sort of picture that i had and so it was surprising to me when i was doing this research on. Just how progressive that was in terms of Desegregating the american league He grew up in chicago. Which at that time was sort of the nerve center of the negro league and he went to tons of different games both the east west all star game for the negro leagues and the chicago. American giants he new players in negro leagues. So well that one cleveland sports writer said that he not only tell you these players were but he could give you sort of stats about them..

"Branch Rickey in those days just would say, Well, I want to get a ballplayer and he didn't recognize contracts or anything else. So F a manly stood up to branch Rickey said. Well, wait a minute. You want Monte Irvin and he wanted money, Urban and efforts said. Well, if you want money, urban, you gotta pay me $5000 and Branch Rickey sort of just looked at her perplexed Look on his face. His eyebrows were going up and down, and he said, I don't think so. She said. You know something. I'm gonna sue you If you try to get Monte Irvin and Branch Rickey heard that and he said all right. I'm going to leave Monte Irvin alone. So my team went back. The Newark Eagles and Horace Stoneham came in and effort sold the contract of Monte Irvin to Horace Stoneham. And that's the way Monty Urban became a New York giant for Monte. He was the mentor on the field of Willie and Leo. The Rocha would say, Look, Willie, you play center, Monty, you get on the line and left. I'm Mueller. You get on the line. And right, Willie, you take everything really plays all the fields like really base everything on when Monte Irvin broke his ankle and I think was in 1951 and spring training. Well, he's crying. I mean, it was just devastating. But that changed Montes the trajectory of the rest of Monty's career. He still was fabulously stole home. We had a great world serious and 51. People don't realize how great a player Monte Irvin was. Willie knew it because, well, he played with people like Monte Irvin in the Negro leagues for years and well, he was just 15 16 years old. Willy would get knocked down. He'd start to cry, and Piper Davis would say, Get up and just go to first base and just play your game and steal all the bases and they'll stop knocking you down.

So let's start with the fact that you are not only a baseball fan, you have worked professionally around the sport. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum know when you first heard about the life and learned about the career of F A manly What jumped out at you? What leapt out at you about her career. Yeah, I think the first thing was just that she had done. It was really just what she was able to accomplish in the thirties and forties. I started working active you them in the summer of 2004. I had just graduated with the sport management degree and By myself, working in a front office on myself, ultimately becoming a general manager of a major league baseball team. I wanted to work at a small market club and, you know, I had my own Moneyball aspirations. But at the time there was no one you know you mentioned in the intro Kim and what? Just becoming the first last year And so, you know, I would always say that. You know, I wanted to be the first but I really thought that Kim would beat me. Um And I don't know. I mean, I do know why it took so long One, but yes, see, Seen F um and what she accomplished back then was was really eye opening because a We didn't really know about it. You know, I just got my job at the museum and Up. Kendrick, who is the president now was giving me a cooler and, you know, I saw her picture in the corner and started asking questions and researching and reading and doing all the things and, Yeah, it was. It was remarkable because she had been owners, um, female owner his team before that they're you know, have been owners and Major League baseball and in the Negro leagues, but she Didn't just only team husband. She really handle the day to day did all the player contracts and negotiations or the equipment and manage the books and did all of the things that a general manager does. And she gave it back there. Open the book with a scene for the 1946 Negro World, Syriza and F Family's team. The North Eagles play and beat the Kansas City Monarchs. Why was this such a pivotal moment in her career and in baseball history? Yeah, it was. It was pivotal because of me. I'm sure I don't think she had. Why? No, she didn't have any. You know, she wasn't a little girl thinking of owning and operating a professional baseball team one day, but everything that she did. She did it to the degree. So if she's in based on now she wants to live. No, it matter that she, you know, Matter of fact celibate like she. She's been struggling. All this part 200 steam, You know, having having a professional team hard anyway, But doing it in black baseball was that much harder. You know, Budgets were tight, You know, they didn't. They didn't have their own stadium, very few black owners on their own stadium, so they were giving up. Hefty portion of gate receipts every single game to the white teams that they rented stadium space from so everything was always such a struggle. And so it was finally like, yes, this is this is what it was all for. It also missed it. Now, when you're the top team, right gate receipts go up because now people want to come see the best of the best to play in that team. Hurt. Here We really go goes on it. Larry Doby, who became the first black player in the American League following Jackie, who was first in the nationally he was on that team, one of efforts players Oh, yeah, It is a big deal. You know, Now that we see that, um Major League Baseball is element you know, has elevated the status of the peace Negro League players.

She finds out later that her father Is white as the result of a relationship or affair, I guess how did she live in the world? And what impact did this have on the way she became involved in baseball and worked and lived in baseball. Yeah, As for definitely, um, you know, she took advantage of her fair complexion when she could when she needed to know she didn't interview later in life and talked about how you know if she was traveling alone, she would say in a white hotel or either the white only restaurant.
