Join historian Indy Neidell and his baseball-crazy pal Berns for a deep dive every week into the waters of baseball history. Loads of stories, stars, stats, oddballs, heroes, and villains from all eras of baseball history brought vividly back to life in a sprawling tapestry to honor our favorite sport. This is really for the baseball nerds out there, those of you who really want to know all about the people and the events that shaped the National Pastime.
The color barrier in baseball was broken by Jackie Robinson in 1947, but how did it come to be in the first place? Were there black players in the Major Leagues way back before it began, and who were they? That's what we'll look at today. Also, Armando Marsans and a curious side note.
