Jackie Robinson Day

79 yrs. ago today, when Opening Day was 15 April, Jackie Robinson made his professional baseball debut w/ the then-Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first African-American player in the major leagues in 80-odd yrs.

Here he steals home in Game One of the 1955 World Series.W/ commentary:Something good about America, alright, but only needed because of several hundred yrs. of murderous honky bullshit.
