Met many of them as my cousin by marriage was a Natty Boh salesman the same age as the players. The good old days. One of them, Dave McNally, filed suit to break the reserve clause. Had lots of dinners with Dave at my cousin's house.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 5:47 pmNote that in 1966, he could not even consider Roland Park, Guilford, Homeland etc.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 5:23 pmAnother case…. https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ori ... story.htmlMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 5:16 pmYes, I do know.
And I know that Blacks and Jews were not allowed into Roland Park, Guilford, Homeland etc, by ordinance.
The first family "of color" in that area was in the early '60's when a Chinese-American professor was recruited from Stanford to Hopkins and was turned away from Guilford...Hopkins muckety mucks got on the horn and 'arranged' for the color barrier to broken for that family. His son was a classmate at Calvert School, one of the very first ever admitted, then Gilman, then Hopkins...he holds 70 patents in eye surgery, genetics, etc, top of the field. All 3 children attended Hopkins, played tennis intercollegiately, all very successful..
The Hoffberger family is Jewish, related to the Blausteins and Rosenbergs.
He wouldn't have been allowed into Roland Park either in the 50's...
