Happy Birthday Jackie Robinson

[Captain Crunch]

Whether you like baseball or not, he paved the way for LeBron or Gale Sayers to be in their leagues.

I can't wait for "42" in April

Jackie Robinson JHS alum...born and raised in Ebbets Field Apartments in Crown Heights Brooklyn where he made history and none of the students were taught anything about him.

Although its Jackie's Day and he is deserving of his respect men such as Larry Doby dont get the accolades they deserve.

Hope my Nets retire the number in his honor when Stackhouse leaves.




























I'll bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn where they belong

jackie endured unimaginable verbal abuse and blatant racism i probably cannot begin to grasp yet went about his business with class and there are no known quotes from him really losing his cool or saying dumb stuff

i say that because the stars of today can take a page out of his book. the issues stars face today are like 1/1000000 of what robinson endured and yet they whine and complain and lose their cool.....they don't make em' like they used to

Ghosts of Flatbush, classic documentary about the Brooklyn Dodgers of the late 40s- mid 50s before they left for California

I cant wait for that movie,it looks good.

I been reading alot about his life before he played in the majors specifically when he lived in Montreal and played there in the minors the season before '47,some interesting stuff about him and his family...

I can't imagine what he went through. It takes a special person to do that. Every team has retired 42 am I correct?
