There are three steps involved in model fitting: (1) Design a model defined by a number of adjustable parameters; (2) Choose a figure-of-merit. 3 In experiments characterized by N measurements of the same quantity, we can display data in the form of a histogram which has on the vertical the fraction Fi of the N measurements that gave the result xi (where i = 1, 2, 3.N) and on the horizontal the measured values x1, x2.xN. As the number of measurements increases, the histogram changes into a quasi-continuous.
He lived with his grandmother before moving to live with his father's sister and brother-in-law from 1934 to 1938.: p.10 He attended Jackson School, which was under South Carolina state law. His first opportunity to play organized baseball came as a student at Boylan-Haven-Mather Academy, a private school affiliated with the church. Richard Dubose, who had managed Doby's father and was known locally in African-American circles for his baseball expertise, gave Doby some of his first baseball lessons.: p.59 Reflecting on his years growing up in South Carolina, including how he and playmates used worn down broom handles for bats, Doby said, 'Growing up in Camden, we didn't have baseball bats. We'd use a tree here, a tin can there, for bases.'
After completing eighth grade, Doby moved north to Paterson at the age of 14 to be reunited with his mother; she visited him weekly while he lived with one of her friends.: p.11: p.30 At, Doby was a multi-sport athlete; as well as playing baseball and basketball, he was a wide receiver in football and in.

'He was a great American, served the country in World War II, and he was a great ballplayer. He was kind of like, the second man on the moon, because he was the second African-American in the majors behind Jackie Robinson. He was just as good of a ballplayer, an exciting player, and a very good teammate.' —Hall of Famer, teammate with Doby 1947–55 In 1948, Doby experienced his first spring training with the Indians in.
Unlike their white teammates, Doby, along with and, were not permitted to stay at the nearby Santa Rita hotel but instead stayed with a local black family and used a rental car provided by the Indians for transportation.: p.71 During spring training, Doby read books concerning outfield play, and received instruction and encouragement from former Indians manager and Indians' farm system director. Doby also credited Indians with helping him adjust to the majors and learning the outfield. In an exhibition game in Houston against the, Doby hit a home run that 'may have traveled 500 feet before landing far beyond the fence in center field.' As Moore wrote in his biography of Doby, 'With that home run, all doubts that Doby would make the 1948 Cleveland team vanished. That year, he played in 121 games and hit.301 for the season with 14 home runs and 66 RBIs.: p.71 Throughout the regular season Doby was racially abused by opposing teams, and Veeck asked AL president for support in getting players to rein in their animosity towards Doby.: p.71 Doby played a major role in Cleveland's victory against the.
In Game 4 on October 9, Doby hit the first home run by a black player in World Series history. A picture featuring an embrace between Doby and white teammate, who had pitched a complete game that day, was on the cover of the next day's Plain Dealer. Of The New York Times called the photograph 'a signature moment in the integration of Major League Baseball.' Of the picture, Doby said, 'The picture was more rewarding and happy for me than actually hitting the home run.
The picture finally showed a moment of a man showing his feelings for me.' : p.66 The Indians defeated the Braves in six games and with it, Cleveland had its first World Series championship since the 1920 season. Doby's.318 batting average during the Series led the Indians. Nationally syndicated columnist argued that without Doby and, who had won 20 games that year, the Indians would have finished in fourth or fifth place. After the Series, Doby received a celebratory parade in Paterson, New Jersey, and during the offseason he, along with other teammates, appeared in the 1949 film.: p.115 With additional income available due to the post-season run and Series championship, Doby and his wife attempted to buy a home in Paterson in an all-white neighborhood but were kept out by a petition from members of the community.
The Dobys were allowed to purchase their desired home when the Paterson city mayor intervened on their behalf.: p.67. 'I was never bitter because I believed in the man upstairs. I continue to do my best.
I let someone else be bitter. If I was bitter, I was only hurting me. I prefer to remember Bill Veeck and Jim Hegan and Joe Gordon, the good guys.
There is no point in talking about the others.' —Larry Doby wrote, 'In glorifying those who are first, the second is often forgotten. Larry Doby integrated all those American League ball parks where Jackie Robinson never appeared. And he did it with class and clout.'
During the 1997 season, when the long-departed Jackie Robinson's number 42 was being retired throughout baseball, and the still-living Doby was being virtually ignored by the media, an editorial in pointed out that Doby had to suffer the same indignities that Robinson did, and with nowhere near the media attention and implicit support. in 2007 wrote, in response to the tradition of MLB players wearing jerseys in homage of Robinson, 'Second place finishers in America are suckers. And so are those who make the story of history less simple than it needs to be. This happens sometimes in America. Those who don't come first or don't do things a certain way get lost. They disappear.'
'Jackie got all the publicity for putting up with it (racial slurs). But it was the same thing I had to deal with. He was first, but the crap I took was just as bad. Nobody said, 'We're gonna be nice to the second Black,' Doby said. Doby served as one of the pallbearers at Robinson's funeral.
As fellow Hall of Famer wrote, 'Anyone who knew Larry knew that he admired Robinson and was never jealous of the attention Robinson received.' Former teammate said: 'Jackie was a college educated man who had been an officer in the service and who played at the Triple-A level. Jackie was brought in by Branch Rickey specifically to be the first black player in major league baseball.
Larry Doby came up as a second baseman who didn't have time to get his full college education, and was forced to play a different position in his first major league season. I think, because of those circumstances, he had a more difficult time than Jackie Robinson. I don't think he has gotten the credit he deserves.' Doby experienced many prejudices during his time before, during, and after the majors. One incident took place during a game as Doby was sliding into second base when the shortstop from the opposing team spat tobacco juice on him. Doby called it the worst injustice he experienced on the field.
He endured many racial slurs, from the stands and elsewhere, during games. He also received death threats. After he had retired as a player, Doby recalled memories of his days as a barrier-breaker.
'You know why I hit so well in and? They were major seating parks and when I came to bat, I knew where the noise was coming from and who was making it. I felt like a quarterback with 5,000 cheerleaders calling his name. You know most of them couldn't afford to be there. I never forgot them.' Shortly after the Indians had honored Doby by naming a nearby street after him, The Plain Dealer columnist Bill Livingston wrote, 'The Larry Doby way of pioneering was the same as the Jackie Robinson way in the National League, only Doby's debut occurred six short weeks later and with almost no advance preparation by Doby or the Indians.' Doby threw out the at the, played.
The decision to have the game in Cleveland coincided with the 1997 season marking the fiftieth anniversary of Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier. It was also 50 years and 3 days since Doby became the first black player in the American League. Hall of Fame Larry Doby's number 14 was by the in 1994.
Doby was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on March 3, 1998, by the Veterans Committee at the age of 74. 'This is just a tremendous feeling. It's kind of like a bale of cotton has been on your shoulders, and now it's off', said Doby.
When he received word about his election it was via telephone call from fellow Hall member. Upon hearing of Doby's election, Gene Mauch, said, 'You have to be some kind of special person to go through what Larry and Jackie Robinson went through. They both are. I'm not too sure there's a player in the game today who could handle it.' He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on July 26, 1998. Doby became the first member born in South Carolina elected to the Hall.

As the first African American player in the American League, he helped lead the Cleveland Indians to their last World Series title in 1948, became a nine-time All-Star and was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.
Laura joins me in sending our condolences to Larry's family during this difficult time.' MLB (1998–2015) released a statement a day following Doby's death: '. Like Jackie, he endured the pain of being a pioneer with grace, dignity, and determination and eased the way for all who followed. He achieved another historic second 31 years later he became the second African-American to manage a big league club, following Frank Robinson.' Former MLB Commissioner said: 'Larry's role in history was recognized slowly and belatedly. Jackie Robinson, who broke the color line first but in the same year, quite naturally received most of the attention.
Larry played out his career with dignity and then slid gracefully into various front-office positions in basketball and then later in baseball. Only in the 90's did baseball wake up to the obvious fact that Larry was every bit as deserving of recognition as Jackie.' Long before Doby was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame came induction in the Indians Hall of Fame in August 1966. Later, in May 1973, he was inducted into the South Carolina Hall of Fame and in 2010, the.

' In 2011, the announced that Doby would be one of the four baseball players (along with, and ) to appear on a postage stamp in 2012, as part of its 'Major League Baseball All-Stars' series. The stamp was released July 21, 2012. See also.
