A Game of Failures

In the Summer of 1946, the Nashua Dodgersdid something no other professional baseball team had done in the U.S. in the twentieth century: they played ball with a racially integrated team. In the latest installment of our New Hampshire First series we're looking into the story of Roy Campanella andDon Newcombe.
