Talk:Ernie Banks

From BR Bullpen

I've never seen this blurb reported before:

On May 8, 1973, (Whitey) Lockman was ejected from a game against the San Diego Padres; for the last few innings, the team was run by coach Ernie Banks, the first time an African-American had served as manager, even for part of one game.
