Pumpsie Green, the last man to integrate a team - a podcast by San Francisco Chronicle

Pumpsie Green is a baseball treasure who grew up in Richmond and lives in El Cerrito. In 1959, he became the first black player for the Boston Red Sox, who were the last big-league team to integrate. Pumpsie sat down with The Chronicle’s John Shea and Scott Ostler and discussed his career and life, including his first big-league at-bat, when the ump said, "You better swing, son."
