Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE) – Today is 75 years since the first blacks appeared in the All-Star Game. That afternoon of July 12, 1949, at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, Larry Doby, of the Indians, was on the American League roster, and of the Dodgers, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe, were with the National. The National beat the American, 11-7 before 32,577 spectators.
** Another July 12, but in 1955, the player with 755 home runs, Hank Aaron, played for the first time in these Classics. Mr. Aaron has the record for most appearances in such games with 24, tied with Willie Mays.
** Tuesday’s All-Star Game will be number 94. It all started in 1933. There were four years of two games each, and the game was not played in 1945 because of travel restrictions due to World War II. It was not carried out in 2020 either, due to the Corona Virus pandemic.

** The Dominican Wander Franco, 32, shortstop of the Rays, had been signed for $182 million until 2033, but he has been left without any earnings and awaiting a sentence of 20 years in prison. He is accused in his country of having had sexual relations with two underage girls.
** They have finally just revealed the causes of death of Sean Burroughs, 43, who played in the Major Leagues for seven seasons until 2012, with the Padres, Rays, Diamondbacks and Twins. Burroughs’ lifeless body was found in May in a parking lot near his car in Los Angeles. Doctors diagnosed that he died from a fentanyl overdose. After his retirement from baseball, Burroughs had been struggling with addiction to alcohol and some drugs.
