Extractions: d. June 26, 1993 Career Batting Record Major league baseball's first black catcher, Campanella began playing professionally when blacks could hardly dream of ever being in the majors. In 1937, he was with the Bacharach Giants, a semi-pro team, but before the season ended he was the starting catcher for the Baltimore Elite Giants of the Negro National League. Like many blacks, he played winter baseball in Latin America while he was with the Giants. Because he had two children, Campanella was granted a draft deferment during World War II. He went to the Mexican League in 1942 but returned to the Giants in 1944. When Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers was looking for a black player to integrate major league baseball, Campanella was among those considered. Jackie Robinson, of course, was chosen for that role, but Campanella also signed with the Dodgers soon afterward, in 1946. After two seasons in the minor leagues, Campanella was with the Dodgers briefly at the beginning of the 1948 season. He was sent down to the minors, primarily to integrate the American Association, but was called back up for good after hitting 13 home runs in 35 games. "Campy" played for four pennant winners in Brooklyn and was named the NL's most valuable player in 1951, 1953, and 1955. He hit .325 with 33 homers and 108 RBI in 1951. In 1953, he set a record for catchers with 41 home runs, led the league with 142 RBI, and batted .312. When the Dodgers won their first world championship in 1955, Campanella batted .318 with 32 home runs and 107 RBI.

Roy Campanella's MVP Awards Sell H unt Auctions' semiannual late summer auction of sports memorabilia in Exton, Pennsylvania, featured balls, bats, and trophies consigned by the widow of Roy Campanella. "Campanella was widely regarded as the finest overall catcher in major league history," said David Hunt, who organizes two live auctions each year, held at the Inn at Chester Springs in Exton, Pennsylvania. "He played under Negro League legend Biz Mackey with the Baltimore Elite Giants and became an all-star as an adept defensive player with a potent bat. He was on the championship Baltimore team in 1939 and appeared in several East-West all-star Negro League teams from 1937 to 1945." His ten years in the major leagues were even more impressive. He received the most valuable player award three times in the 1950's. The August 22 and 23 sale grossed $1.8 million for just over 1180 lots, the most ever for a Hunt live auction. The 80 lots from the Campanella consignment brought in more than $600,000 of the total. It began with autographed balls and included bats, framed awards, trophies, and autographs. The MVP awards evoked the most excitement for the 50 or so collectors in the salesroom and seven bidders on the phones. The octagonal sterling plaques mounted on black stained wood have the words "Kenesaw Mountain Landis Memorial Baseball Award" in raised block letters around a baseball diamond. Under a 10k gold bust of Landis are the words "Most Valuable Player National League," and in gold is "Roy Campanella." Under his name in silver is "Brooklyn Dodgers," and under that on a gold baseball on crossed bats is the date of the award. All three plaques are the same, but the dates on the baseballs are 1955, 1953, and 1951.
Extractions: Died: June 26, 1993, Woodland Hills, California Roy Campanella, one of the five black players signed by Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey before the 1946 season, was the first catcher to break organized baseball's color line. Just 5'9" but solidly built, he had already proven himself as a catcher during nine years in the Negro National League, the winter leagues, and Mexico.

Born in Philadelphia of a black mother and an Italian father, Campanella began his baseball career in 1937 with a hometown semi-pro team, the Bacharach Giants. So impressive was his play that the Baltimore Elite Giants of the Negro National League offered him a uniform that year, though he was only 15 years old. Still in school, he played only on weekends and caught only to spell veteran Biz Mackey. The next year, however, he left school and joined the team full-time. He won the first-string job in 1939 and led the Giants to playoff triumphs over the Newark Eagles and the Homestead Grays. In four games he collected five hits, including one HR, and drove in seven runs.
