FELLER, TRIBE TOP BROWNS
Bob struck out 11 and tripled in what turned out to be the GWRBI; Doby scored an 8th-inning insurance run. St. Louis fell a full game behind the Yankees.

… to have been listed in this question by Yusuf.After that, I got nuthin’.Edited for an actual idea in this.
“…break a color line.”
Jackie broke the NL color line, Doby broke the AL color line, so I wonder if Clemente did something similar.
::hopes for a wide strike zone::

Ok, looks like I stumped the room.
Larry Doby, Jackie Robinson, and Roberto Clemente are the only #baseball players to have received the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Doby's was arguably the more challenging path, given his youth and Veeck's "sudden immersion" approach to integrating the AL.
