Larry Doby Bronze Medal – Honoring a Champion of Equality and Excellence
This bronze medal pays tribute to Lawrence Eugene “Larry” Doby, a sports legend and civil rights trailblazer, awarded the Congressional Gold Medal under Public Law 115-322 for his lasting influence in athletics, military service, and the pursuit of racial equality.
Obverse (Front):
The front side presents a portrait of Doby with Hinchliffe Stadium in the background, a symbol of his pioneering days in baseball. Inscriptions include:
“LARRY DOBY”
“ACT OF CONGRESS 2018”
Reverse (Back):
The reverse captures a powerful moment of unity and victory, with Doby and teammate Steve Gromek embracing after a pivotal win—highlighting a breakthrough not only in sports but in race relations. The inspirational message reads:
“WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER, AS A TEAM, AS A NATION, AS A WORLD.”
A true groundbreaker, Doby was the second African American to play in Major League Baseball and the first in the American League. Following his athletic achievements, he remained committed to community upliftment, earning honorary doctorates from esteemed institutions such as Princeton, Fairfield, and Long Island University. In 1998, he was rightfully enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
This medal is a meaningful keepsake honoring a man whose courage, talent, and dedication helped shape a more inclusive America.
