Jackie Robinson Day



I guess if I show this card three years in a row it is an official blog tradition. MLB does a nice job honoring Jackie Robinson. Such a cool tribute that everyone wears #42 today. Jackie Robinson had to endure so much and opened the door for so many players.

Happy Friday!

    Wow that's a great card.

    And happy Jackie Robinson day (the number of people who think his name is Robertson or think it's his birthday is hilarious and depressing at the same time)!

      Thanks Zippy. You are right about people not fully grasping just how important he was.

    I guess it'll be a tradition that I keep leaving the following comment... "awesome card".

    I like that it was griffey who started the wearing of 42 and it grew into more of a meaningful grassroots sort of thing and not a contrived corporate type selig initiative.
