The Boston Red Sox were the last major league team to integrate, due to the resistance of owner Tom Yawkey.
When integration did come, new General Manager Bucky Harris promoted Pumpsie Green from Boston's AAA farm club in July 1959, but Green did not become a regular player. Earl Wilson began as a regular in the Red Sox' rotation beginning 1962.
this, also, was the team that gave away george herman ruth, jr.

March 7
112 years ago, on March 7, 1901, the Texas legislature voted to make the Bluebonnet the state flower.
There was controversy during the debate. One member wanted the cotton boll. Another from Uvalde, lobbied for the prickly pear cactus. He made such an impassioned speech that he earned a nickname that stuck with him for the rest of his life.
32 years later, John Nance "Cactus Jack" Garner, would be sworn in as vice-president under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
