Black & Proud
Can you name three HoFers who were the first black members of their respective teams?

Jackie Robinson is pretty obvious. How about Monte Irvin of the Giants and Satchel Paige of the Indians ????

Robinson is, of course, the gimme here. Hank Thompson was the first Giant and not an HoFer. Satchel Paige was not the first Indian.

Doby was the first Black Indian (post 1946) and is an HoFer.
