That's a fantastic picture of Thompson, Durocher and Irvin. Thompson and Irvin had so much talent--its a shame Irvin got injured.
Durocher was so pivotal in promoting the meritocracy of integration. Leo "the Lip" has many famous quotes, but one with the Giants organization was " “I’m only going to say one thing about color: You can be green or be pink on this team. If you can play baseball and help this team you’re welcome to play.”
