Today In 1947: The Cleveland Indians acquire Larry Doby from the Newark Eagles of the Negro National League! In two days he'll become the first Black player in American League history! ⚾️ #MLB #Baseball #Legend

🚨ALERT🚨 Please help us find this guy’s family! He was located around 9:10 AM in southwest Lincoln, in the area of 24th and C. Officers haven’t been able to find family or relatives. Please call 402-441-6000 if you know his identity or his parents.

🇺🇸 Enjoy your big day! Honestly...

Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July! 🇺🇸 #GuardsBall

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final." Silent Cal found the right words for the 4th.

Happy Fourth! I love this quote from a monument in Washington Square in Philadelphia: "Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness."

Today, we celebrate the 78th anniversary of Larry Doby breaking the AL color barrier. Facing the same challenges as Jackie Robinson, and debuting just a few months later, Doby's courage and bravery is more than worth celebrating. 👏 #GuardsBall

Fact that MLB does not celebrate #DobyDay absolutely needs to change. #GuardsBall

Two years later on #DobyDay, no change by MLB. Particularly shameful given that Pirates can all wear 21 on Clemente Day.

All should come out wearing 14 on #DobyDay. What is MLB going to do? Forfeit, fine, or penalize the team honoring the first Black player in the AL? Please.

Newark Eagles great, Larry Doby, broke the color barrier in the AL with Cleveland on 7/5/47. His pioneering role has only been celebrated over recent years. He was baseball’s Buzz Aldrin, the 2nd man to walk on the moon. Ironically, both Doby and Aldrin called Montclair, NJ home!

Celebrating Larry Doby Day in Cleveland ❤️

Guards scored? Guards scored.

Dog days have started early for the Guards this season. Stuck in neutral.

We have won a game. #GuardsBall | #GuardiWins

#Windians

We win one tomorrow, that’s called a “winning streak.” It has happened before.

Always good to beat the South Siders. #GuardsBall
