Pitcher Mike Nozinski was an eyewitness to history as he was a teammate of Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe on the 1946 Nashua Dodgers, which was the first affiliated minor league team for this significant pair of Afro-Americans. Mike was also on the Jackie Robinson All-Stars, a team which played the Honus Wagner All-Stars in October of 1946. After Mike chalked up an eye-catching ERA of 2.92 at Nashua in 1946, the Brooklyn Dodgers rewarded him by placing him on their 1947 spring roster.

The attached photo is from the Nashua (NH) Telegraph of October 2, 1946, and shows Mike Nozinski in a Nashua Dodgers uniform.
