Today is Jackie Robison Day. Today will celebrate not just a great athlete and person, but a brave human being who helped break the color barrier. And he paid a steep emotional price. He passed away at just 53 years old and I firmly believe the stress and trials of his life contributed to this. This was also man serving two years in the military, from 1942-1944.
Today, we honor a great human being!

Not a huge baseball fan... but I am a fan of anyone who helps break down barriers. Jackie was an astounding person.
