Hats off to Branch Rickey
First off this morning, I want to remember Branch Rickey, the man responsible for signing the first "negro" to play in the major leagues. I was watching the baseball game last night, and one of their graphics came up to recognize that 60 years ago yesterday Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson. This was one of the first steps towards integration, and should be remembered. If you don't know the Jackie Robinson story, take a few minutes out of your day. It's truly amazing.
