Dem Little Bums: The Nashua Dodgers
"Sign your name and pick up your bags. We're roomates," Galipeau said.

With that, Galipeau and Newcombe became the first interracial roomates in professional baseball.

All that seemed so long ago. As Newcombe basked in the bright sunshine and adulation of the crowd at Holman Stadium, Galipeau stood quietly to the side, content to let his friend and roommate get all the attention he deserved.

The glory days of baseball had returned to Nashua and historic Holman Stadium, if only for one day.
