Dan Bankhead (Brooklyn) in the NL & Satchel Paige (Cleveland) in teh AL. I knew they were for the same teams as Robinson & Doby but always thought it was Don Newcombe in the NL until I looked it up to make sure.

I always thought it was Don Newcombe in the NL, too. I loved
Satchel's book "Don't Look Back, Something Might be Gaining On
You" and he pitched in 1965 with the Kansas City A's for 3 innings and later in 1969 he pitched with the Braves in Spring
Training.
