“Greatness In The Shadows” About Larry Doby At The Bergino Clubhouse

It was a jam packed crowd at the fabulous Bergino Clubhouse (67 East 11th Street) to hear author Douglas M. Branson speak about his book, “Greatness In The Shadows,” which is about the life of Larry Doby.

Mr Branson  then spoke about the relative little publicity Larry Doby gets for being the first black player in the American League and a good deal of what that entails.

“Greatness in the Shadows” will be a great read and again Bergino Clubhouse, with so much to offer in the way of baseball nostalgia and real hospitality, courtesy of Mr. Goldberg, is a definite must for baseball fans.
