RICHMOND, VA. -- In fielding Major League Baseball’s first all-minority lineup 50 years ago, the Pirates’ made history.
I don’t have much to say about it that hasn’t been said already this week, as the event was well-covered by our own Alex Stumpf, and made headlines in the national media as well, even on network nightly news broadcasts. It’s always good to see this special group of players celebrated, among the best teams the Pittsburgh Baseball Club has produced in their 130+ years. Likewise, it was a seismic event, occurring only 25 years after integration, and a milestone of which every baseball fan should be aware.
