  1. I wonder if Whitey Ford could even imagine a person being so bold as to even think of stealing home plate

    Thats probably what happened. What Robinson did was so unprecedented Ford couldnt even conceive it could happen. So Ford would have thought, “Robinson’s just trying to break my concentration.”

  2. This is Jackie Robinson Day, not his birthday, which is Jan. 31st.

    A lot of people who really elevated their sports have birthdays clustered in late January and early February: Robinson, Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, and some great NFL q-backs e.g., Roger Staubach. Someone came up with a theory about that and it has nothing to do with astrology.

  3. The way Jackie walked got up and walked away he KNEW he was nailed…

    And Yogi told Joe Piscopo at the museum in Montclair…pointed to a HUGE photo and said…

    “…he was out…”

  4. @TimBuktu, you were right, it wasn’t his birthday but his first day he played as a professional baseball player. Actually, he shares his birthday with Ghost!! It took us a long to find his grave site. Not sure what we were expecting. @MJA, maybe if it was as grand as you were thinking we would have seen it sooner. Special day for a special man!

    God Bless us all!
