What a handsome young man Mr. Robinson was. What a brilliant smile. That sculpture is very well done, a real work of art.

The movie 42 was super good.

Salute to all of those who stood up on behalf of what was right.

2020...i miss shaking hands without being self conscious of the consequence that handshake is quite quaint

If for nothing else, thanks for showing Robinson's World Series steal of home AND Yogi's furious reaction to the safe call. Never gets old.

It was the correct call. Yogi was wrong. Another camera angle, rarely shown, makes it clear.

There are a few folks like George that make you proud...proud to be part of a better America!

Am I imagining it or does that umpire look like he disapproves the handshake?

No it's not your imagination!

America needs to be better now. It will take all of us. Every shape, creed and color. It's the right thing to do...

"It's right things to do"

don't forget Branch Rickie is how Jackie got to play in the first African American to play in the all white MLB in the first place !

I know that now too because I watched the movie 42, it was a great movie.

My dad loved and admired this man. Me? I was too young and had to grow and learn ( or should I say, learn and grow? )

This is making me tear up.

Why no closed captions? Would love to use this for my classes.

1st saw that pic when I was 6 years-old! Wow!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Herb Washington, a world class sprinter but non baseball player, was hired by Oakland A's owner Charles Finley to be a designated runner for the 1974 season. In 1974 Herb never batted, but stole 29 bases and scored 29 runs. He had an embarrassing moment in the ninth inning of Game 2 of the 1974 World Series when, as the potential tying run, he was picked off first base by Dodger ace reliever Mike Marshall. (You can see a clip of this on youtube) Nevertheless, he received a World Series ring as the A's defeated the Dodgers by winning four out of five games. Herb was released by the A's the next year and never returned to baseball. In his later life he became a successful businessman.

I wondered what happened to Herb Washington and I'm glad he made it big after baseball

Interesting to see Gabby Hayes sitting with Rachel Robinson at 4.02. I wonder which ballpark, and I wonder why Gabby was there

Willard Brown and Jeff Heath.

For those unfamiliar, Bill James tells a story in his Historical Baseball Abstract that has a less positive reaction of a Caucasian player to his African American teammate's home run. They all can't be feel good stories.

Herb Washington has a unique place in baseball history. He was the only full-time pinch-runner. Played in over 100 games and never batted and never played the field. He also never played in the minors.

A beautiful story.

Jaded looks ? Not what that means. Don’t use words you don’t know.

George shuba shuba shuba shuba!

Y’all weird fr why y’all make this more about the white boy like he went through what we go through and I don’t see color Just common sense 👁🖤♟♾️

You can always tell a journalist's politics by the kind of questions they ask.

I'm pretty sure that BLM has more to do than delete posts regarding baseball in 1946. Here is the link to the BLM about page. Take a moment to read it and inform yourself. If you disagree with the mission then you fully know why. blacklivesmatter.com/about/
