Tough day at the Coyle for Senators fans. Silvio Garcia homered twice, doubled twice, stole a base, scored four runs, and knocked in three as the Braves dominated Washington in extra innings.
Branch Rickey had a meeting with Dodger owner Walter O'Malley about Silvio Garcia on March 15, 1943 -- a meeting so sensitive that O'Malley ordered that the two not be disturbed for any reason. What was Rickey so eager to discuss with his boss confidentially?
They discussed signing him as the first player to break the color line but from what I remember Garcia didn't have the personality they were looking for.
