Noah Campbell has been our Swiss Army Knife all season long.

In this afternoon's season finale, he plans to become the second player in Carolina Mudcats history to play all nine positions in a single game.

Maddux once threw 76 pitches in a complete game. 83 percent of those 76 pitches were strikes. He went to a two-ball count only twice, and he did not throw a ball in the third or fifth innings.

We blew past 6,000 followers so we'll give away a free membership and a @GraigKreindler set of T206 business cards.

We surpassed 6,500 so someone else will get a membership and an original @abssportsart drawing of Joe.

If we can get to 7,000 by 7/16, we'll give away even more!

[SABR SC Chapter - Larry Doby @sabrsclarrydoby]

@DavidLDurkin Yes. He played his first game on July 5.

July 5, 1947: Larry Doby became the first Black to play in the American League. He struck out as a pinch-hitter for the Cleveland Indians in a 6-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox. #LarryDoby #SABR #SABRSC #LarryDobyChapter

Larry Doby was named skipper of the @whitesox by @Bill_Veeck on June 30, 1978, becoming only the second black to manage in #MLB history.

Doby was fired at the end of the season season after finishing in 5th place with a 37-50 managerial record.

I’ve always felt that Larry Doby was one of the most under-appreciated players in baseball history. He broke in a few months after Jackie Robinson, and dealt with many of the same challenges in the AL as Jackie did in the NL. He had a great, multi layered career in his own right.
