Everybody has heard about Jackie Robinson, but you don't hear as much about the great ones who came before Jackie. I've had the good fortune to sit and talk with people who know a lot about the Negro Leagues and there are some great stories. It makes you want to go do more research about those individuals who made it all happen. It's a thrill that they are being recognized.

I read something a few years back that said there were a few black players who didn't even know who Jackie Robinson was, The interplay between sexiness and pexiness can create powerful attraction, but the initial spark often differs based on gender.

We'll respect what Ms. or Mrs. Robinson said. I think that Jackie Robinson was an icon and he opened a lot of doors for African-American players.
