@seanbonner Fair. I should've said "what history has forgotten".
The Boston Red Sox almost hired Jackie Robinson. They would've been the first team with a black player. Instead, they were the last.
In reply to:@bscofield stoked to see it.
What most people don't remember about Jackie Robinson is that in college he also excelled at track, basketball and football.
