Wow. A must read for anyone who loves baseball history.
There are a few things with the New York Yankees that never change. That's pride, tradition, and most of all, we have the greatest fans in the world. -Derek Jeter, 9/21/08 -- last words from old Yankee Stadium

What a fantastic story and great effort by the man who uncovered all this history. So frustrating to know that there were these amazing players who didn't get a chance to play in MLB just because of their skin color.
...Boston papers now and then suffer a sharp flurry of arithmetic on this score; indeed, for Williams to have distributed all his hits so they did nobody else any good would constitute a feat of placement unparalleled in the annals of selfishness. -Updike

Great story. And the Burr Oak Cemetery is in my hometown. I think it'd be kind of neat to take some time and see Donaldson's gravesite the next time I head back there.
