April 15, 2007 marked the 60th Anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson took the field for first time as a Brooklyn Dodger, effectively breaking Major League Baseballs color barrier. It was the single greatest day in the history of American sports and an event that was certainly before its time. Jackie's accomplishments on and off the field changed the landscape of sports forever and brought the issue of segregation to every city he played in. Fans, players and organizations around the country paid tribute last Sunday to a true American hero.

What Would Jackie Robinson Do?On April 15, 2007, five entire teams had all of their players wear number 42 in honor of the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's debut as the first African-American player in Major League Baseball. While some see wearing number 42 on Jackie Robinson Day the ultimate honor, others think that it somewhat dilutes his legacy. -

I love every bit of that. Only trouble is, there is only one Jackie Robinson. The other Players need to be who they are.
Really cool Pod though!
