Pumpsie Green was the first black baseball player to play for the Red Sox and the last black baseball player to overcome the color barrier in the MLB. The Red Sox were notably the last baseball team to add a black player to their major league roster.
Featured guest and NESN reporter Jahmai Webster, interviewed Pumpsie Green a few years back. Pumpsie Green hated being a legacy, but he loved being a baseball player.
Jack and Jahmai echo the same sentiment; especially in Boston, the fans care more about winning than the color of a player's skin.
Man, I love this episode.
