Jackie Robinson: A Second Meaning


 Today is the 67th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color line with the Brooklyn Dodgers.  Major league baseball will commemorate it by having all players wearing Robinson’s #42 and repeating stories of what Robinson did and what it all meant.  At no time will anyone suggest that the story of Jackie Robinson has any bearing on the role of women in baseball, especially on the field.

Which leads me to wonder why Clare did all those reports on Robinson back in grade school.
