Obverse (Front):
The front of the medal showcases a detailed portrait of Larry Doby with Hinchliffe Stadium—where he made sports history—visible in the background. Inscribed are:
“LARRY DOBY”
“ACT OF CONGRESS 2018”
Reverse (Back):
The reverse features an emotional scene of Larry Doby and teammate Steve Gromek sharing a celebratory embrace after a milestone victory—an image symbolic of progress and unity. The inscription reads:
“WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER, AS A TEAM, AS A NATION, AS A WORLD.”
Beyond breaking barriers as the second African American to play Major League Baseball, Doby remained a champion of community service and education. His lifelong efforts earned him honorary doctorates from Long Island University, Princeton University, and Fairfield University. In 1998, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, solidifying his place in American history.
This medal stands as a tribute to his enduring impact both on and off the field.
