White Sox second baseman Josh Harrison learned about the impact of Jackie Robinson “first-hand” — from his uncle, former Orioles outfielder John Shelby, who played 10 years in the big leagues and won the World Series with the Orioles in 1983 and Dodgers in 1988.
“I had a family member that was full representation of what it meant,” Harrison said. “Where other people might have had to read books — obviously I read books and do my research — having an uncle who was living proof and here I am now living proof myself.”
