Today is the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. MLB will be honoring Mr. Robinson in every game played today. Majority of the baseball players and teams will be wearing the number 42. 42 is the number Mr. Robinson wore during his playing days and is currently retired throughout baseball. It may get a little confusing when two teams who are playing each other all have the same number. I think it's going to be great to see Mr. Robinson's memory in every ball park. For those wanting to learn more about the man and how tough his accomplishment was take a look at this website about Mr. Robinson.
With a week of the Imus scandal showing everyone how words can hurt others, today is a day that shows everyone, people can over come hatred and ignorance.
Patrick (42)
