Why Jackie has two Hall of Fame plaques

When Jackie Robinson was inducted into Cooperstown in 1962, his Hall of Fame plaque made no mention of him breaking the color barrier. With wife Rachel's blessing, that changed in 2008.
Jackie Robinson's No. 42 was retired across baseball in 1997, but players recognized the importance of the number long before that. Here is what nine players said about what wearing 42 meant to them.
Before they don No. 42, a host of MLB stars will be wearing the new Jackie Robinson Day Air Max 1, Nike's latest release celebrating the Hall of Famer.
If it wasn't one black being the first,it would have been another.
Larry Doby Day?How does THAT sound?
Just for laughs,who was the first nig in the nba?I don't know--or care.But interesting that in a league where today, blacks really do owe their multi-million dollar careers(and all the perks,like orgies with White women)to the past,THEY don't publicize the first negro nba'er.
... which made me wonder, had the Baseball Hall of Fame unpersoned Tom Yawkey the way that the current Red Sox ownership did? Happily, no, not yet. But the slander reflex kicked in at the end of the article. Of course.
"But Yawkey's legacy is complicated. ... Yawkey repeatedly accepted his scouts’ claims that they could not find Black ballplayers good enough to play in the majors. The Red Sox became the last major league club to integrate..."
