PATERSON, N.J. -- July 5 will now be known as Larry Doby Day in New Jersey.

The designation comes on the 76th anniversary of the Paterson native breaking the American League color barrier when he joined the Cleveland Indians in 1947.

Wednesday, a group of Yankees players toured the recently restored Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson. They also hosted a baseball clinic for two local youth teams.
