Paige was the first black pitcher to throw in a World Series. Cleveland outfielder Larry Doby was the first. Editor's note: A previous version of this video incorrectly stated that Satchel Paige was the first African American player in the American League.

With that, it should be noted that Russell tied the record for most RBI in a World Series game. That happy bit of history will occur because in those two moments, Russell took a pair of swings that pushed across six runs - including an absolutely crippling grand slam off Otero - and the Cubs rolled to a 9-3 victory that equaled this World Series at three games apiece. Wednesday night, over the final nine innings of the year - or maybe more - one hex will be broken, the other will continue.
There will be a seventh and final game of this World Series between these two franchises, whose karma has been mostly catastrophic. On the mound in the second instance: right-hander Dan Otero, who arrived at the rubber as a parent walks into a toddler’s room, toys scattered everywhere, the mess Tomlin left behind.
On the mound in the first instance stood Cleveland Indians right-hander Josh Tomlin, who possessed at that point a curveball that wouldn’t properly curve and a cutter that wouldn’t properly cut. Both times, Addison Russell of the Chicago Cubs stepped to the plate and dug in.
