The Boston Red Sox almost hired Jackie Robinson. They would've been the first team with a black player. Instead, they were the last.

@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.

@bscofield You better bring your A game. ;)

@bscofield these are your @LARubyConf slides?

The All American Baseball League started during WWII. It lasted until 1952 when the commissioner banned women from playing professional ball

@bscofield It's a sign! Make your slides in HTML/CSS/JS.

@bikeswarm No! Do you have a URL for me?

During WWII a 15 year old was drafted up to pitch in the major league. When I was 15, I was playing my best baseball but fucking hell.

@mitchellh It's two kinds of Daiya cheese, Tofurkey slices, avocado, veganaise and nutritional yeast.

@mitchellh Oh I see. I misread it...

@mitchellh Righteous. Are you coming to @LARubyConf this weekend? If so, I'll take you for some awesome vegan food.

@mitchellh was it what? Is that about the sandwich or the 30% claim?

I made this sandwich for dinner. @ The Farmhouse http://instagr.am/p/mZ00u/

@mitchellh so true.
