Hall of Fame catcher Roy Campanella, and Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Don Newcombe were signed to play with the Nashua Dodgers in 1946 when Jackie Robinson was playing with the Dodgers AAA team in Montreal. While Robinson was busy making headlines in Montreal, Newcombe, and Campanella were making history themselves playing for Nashua of the Class B New England League. The duo made the Nashua Dodgers the first integrated affiliated baseball team in the United States. Both veterans of the Negro Leagues, Newcombe and Campanella dominated the circuit that season, leading Nashua to a championship.
