Doby was the first black player in the American League, wasn't he?

Yes, Doby was the first American League player.

I didn’t know about Doby and when I was reading more about Jack Robinson I came across Doby’s name.

The quote that nobody remembers who comes in second comes to mind.

Satchel Paige should have been the first player to play in the big leagues.
