     An unpleasant reminder that the last segregated home team to play in Brooklyn was the Dodgers on Thursday, October 3, 1946 at Ebbets Field.

     Until the strictly white Team Israel was the segregated home team in Brooklyn for the WBC qualifying round on September 22, 2016 at MCU Park.

     Desegrated baseball in Brooklyn lasted for 69 years, 11 months, and 19 days.

     At least Rachel Robinson wasn't invited to witness the end of a legacy.
