Jackie Robinson Day

Today is Jackie Robinson day. Robinson of course was the person who broke the color barrier in baseball. He rightfully is recognized every day on this April 15. This is the day that he broke the color barrier in baseball. There are a lot of misconceptions about Jackie Robinson's legacy that I will try to point out later. However, for now it is just important to acknowledge Robinson and everything that Robinson had to go through in order to help pave the way for people of all races to play baseball together. Here's to you Jackie Robinson, one of the greatest people to ever play the game. This should not be a one day a year event. Remember #42.
