Baseball celebrated the accomplishments of Jackie Robinson this weekend by letting anyone who wanted to wear the number 42 uniform for that one-day. Many teams had all of their players wearing number 42. First of all, great move by baseball. Way to, at least for one-day, bury all of the steroid scandle by celebrating something of actual value. What Robinson did was nothing short of revolutionary. Great move! Couldn’t have been a better decision. Secondly, I am only 25 years olds so the whole civil rights movement seems like a story out of a movie dealing with long ago. Considering this was only the 60s and some of the stupidity that was around then still lingers today… well, I am a white dude and it just makes me ashamed of my race. Kudos to MLB for getting one right.
Secondly, today is another one of those days where we all will remember what we were doing when we heard about Virginia Tech. On of the people I work with shouted out with disgust when the news story came up on the TV. What kind of world are we living in where we have a statistic like “worst school shooting”? If you have the time, offer up a prayer for the families, that school, our nation, and the future generations who will have to live with whatever it is we messed up so much to create this scenario.
