I bet the A**hole Administration just loooves Jackie Robinson Day.
Jackie Robinson debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers on this day in 1947.
Elijah Green debuted with the Boston Red Sox on July 21, 1959.
Calculating the time and distance between Ebbets Field and Fenway Park, you will find that MLB desegregated at the pace of an average common snail.
For real.
This is the webpage on Jackie Robinson that was removed and then restored by the Department of Defense. I tried to pick out a snippet to quote but, honestly, it's just ALL good.
Sports Heroes Who Served: Baseball Great Jackie Robinson Was WWII Soldier
Feb. 9, 2021 | By David Vergun, DOD News
On this day in 1947: Jackie Robinson made his major league debut with the #Brooklyn #Dodgers, becoming the first African American to play in #MLB in the modern era.

Did you know? His brother Mack Robinson won a silver medal in the 1936 #Olympics, finishing just behind Jesse Owens. Both brothers are honored with memorial statues in their hometown of #Pasadena, California.

This tree was planted 31 years ago as a 3-foot bareroot sapling. My son and I used to play catch beside it. Later, I would throw pop flies over the tree. Now, there's no room for playing catch...
Edit: Corrected date of old photo. It was the year 2000. My son -- 10 years old -- had asked the barber for an NBA haircut (probably a fade, but he got a bowl cut).
Looks like I picked the right time to turn off the Cubs game and go to sleep last night. Went to bed with the Cubs up 4-0; as soon as I turned it off the bullpen came in and blew it. Final score: Padres 10, Cubs 4.

I want to say that tonight's Dodger win should've come at a much easier pace (too many squandered scoring opportunities), but hey, a win is a win. Just as a 16-0 loss is just a loss.
On April 15th, 1947 the Brooklyn Dodgers signed #JackieRobinson. The history of Black baseball players is marked by segregation and the establishment of the color line, which excluded them from #MLB until Jackie Robinson. Prior to this, notable players like Moses Fleetwood Walker and his brother Weldy played in the major leagues in the 1880s. But none played in the Majors between 1884 and 1947.
GET RID OF THE DH!!!

@SFGiants win in Philadelphia 10-4 against a good Phillies team. Whew. They're cookin' right now.
Well, the Giants were down to the Phillies 3-0 and then came up to bat.
It's now 6-3, @SFGiants
This team.
One player isn’t the cause of an entire team’s troubles, no matter how badly they’re playing.
