Baseball celebrates the story of how the Dodgers’ Pee Wee Reese helped to defuse racism against teammate Jackie Robinson with a public embrace. But is the hug a myth?

Babe Ruth hugged Lou Gehrig in 1939 when the terminally ill Gehrig said goodbye to fans at Yankee Stadium. Yogi Berra hugged Don Larson after Larson threw a perfect game in the 1956 World Series. And last week in Texas, a baseball hug went viral when a little-league batter got hit in the head with a pitch and hugged the distraught young man who had thrown the ball.
