Commemorative Coin to Honor Pioneers of Baseball Integration

纪念币纪念棒球一体化先驱

Washington, D.C. - In a poignant recognition of the profound impact of baseball integration, a bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced legislation to mint commemorative coins honoring the groundbreaking achievements of Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby. The Integration of Baseball Commemorative Coin Act, sponsored by Representatives Cedric Richmond (D-LA), Roger Williams (R-TX), and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), aims to immortalize the legacy of these trailblazing athletes and their pivotal role in dismantling racial barriers.

华盛顿特区 - 为了深刻认识到棒球一体化的深远影响，两党立法者小组提出了铸造纪念币的立法，以纪念杰基·罗宾逊和拉里·多比的开创性成就。棒球纪念币一体化法案由众议员塞德里克·里士满（D-LA）、罗杰·威廉姆斯（R-TX）和参议员蒂姆·斯科特（R-SC）发起，旨在永垂不朽这些开拓性运动员的遗产及其关键作用消除种族障碍。

The announcement of the bill was made on Capitol Hill, where the sponsors were joined by Hall of Famer Andre Dawson, an avid coin collector and ardent admirer of Robinson and Doby. "I learned so much from these men about the unwavering determination and resilience required to excel at the highest level while navigating the adversity they faced," Dawson said.

该法案是在国会山宣布的，名人堂成员安德烈·道森 (Andre Dawson) 也加入了赞助商行列，他是一位狂热的钱币收藏家，也是罗宾逊和多比的热心崇拜者。道森说：“我从这些人身上学到了很多关于在克服逆境时取得最高水平所需的坚定不移的决心和韧性。”

The integration of baseball in 1947 shattered long-held prejudices and marked a watershed moment in the civil rights movement. Robinson, who broke the color line in the National League, and Doby, who followed suit in the American League, endured immense hostility and discrimination but remained steadfast in their pursuit of equality.

1947 年棒球运动的融合打破了长期以来的偏见，标志着民权运动的分水岭。在国家联盟打破肤色界限的罗宾逊和在美国联盟打破肤色界限的多比，忍受着巨大的敌意和歧视，但仍然坚定地追求平等。

Senator Scott emphasized the profound significance of Robinson and Doby's contributions. "Without their courage and sacrifice, individuals like myself and Representative Richmond would not be here today," he stated. "We owe our presence on this stage to the shoulders of these giants who confronted unimaginable challenges and paved the way for future generations."

斯科特参议员强调了罗宾逊和多比贡献的深远意义。他说：“如果没有他们的勇气和牺牲，像我和里士满众议员这样的人今天就不会在这里。” “我们能站在这个舞台上，归功于这些巨人的肩膀，他们面临着难以想象的挑战，为子孙后代铺平了道路。”

The commemorative coins, which will be available in $5, $1, and 50-cent denominations, will be released in 2022, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of baseball integration. The design of the coins remains undisclosed, but Roll Call has reported that they will feature the shape of a baseball diamond.

纪念币有 5 美元、1 美元和 50 美分三种面值，将于 2022 年发行，恰逢棒球一体化 75 周年。这些硬币的设计尚未公开，但据点名报道，它们将具有棒球场的形状。

The lawmakers expressed their unwavering support for the bill and its potential to inspire future generations. Representative Richmond, who played baseball at Morehouse College, shared his admiration for Dawson, highlighting his exceptional talent and the impact of the legends being honored. "I'm standing next to Andre Dawson," he exclaimed, "and I now understand why I never made it to the big leagues."

立法者们表达了对该法案的坚定支持及其激励子孙后代的潜力。在莫尔豪斯学院打棒球的众议员里士满分享了他对道森的钦佩，强调了他非凡的天赋和传奇人物受到表彰的影响。 “我站在安德烈·道森旁边，”他惊呼道，“我现在明白为什么我从未进入大联盟。”

The Integration of Baseball Commemorative Coin Act is a testament to the unwavering legacy of Robinson and Doby and their enduring impact on American society. By immortalizing their achievements on a commemorative coin, the lawmakers aim to ensure that their stories continue to be told and that their contributions to the fight for equality are never forgotten.

《棒球纪念币一体化法案》证明了罗宾逊和多比坚定不移的遗产及其对美国社会的持久影响。通过在纪念币上纪念他们的成就，立法者的目的是确保他们的故事继续被讲述，并确保他们为争取平等而做出的贡献永远不会被忘记。
