I think you actually covered some things that Ken Burns' series o baseball didn't. I love stories about overcoming prejudice and the powers it wields.

GREAT work! And I think you goofed a bit on John Gibson... estimates are that he hit between 800-100 homeruns, not 800-1000 pitches.

It's largely systemic. I recommend giving Knowing Better's most recent video on segregation in schools to get an idea of how interconnected a lot of these ideas are.
Satchel Page should have his own episode on Extra Mythology. Seriously.

The year before Robinson debuted with Brooklyn, pro football re-integrated, with four Black players, two of whom are in Canton.

It's astonishing to think there are still morons out there who judge others based solely on skin colour.

Shouldn't the arrows for Paige filling the bases be clockwise instead of counterclockwise?
