With relatives from Pennsylvania staying with us for a few weeks, our routine is adjusted. The TV is on more often, playing programs we do not normally watch. The ABC Evening News is a great example.
Charlie Gibson started talking about baseball having 15 games played yesterday. So?! Well, he then starts telling the story about how every player on this one team was wearing the same number. Number 42.
Then, he says that everyone on the opposing team was wearing number 42. What the?
Not only that, but all 30 teams that played those 15 games yesterday, had the number 42 on every jersey.
Why?
Because it was that day in history when a HUGE barrier was broken.
It was the day when you no longer had to be white to play baseball.
It was the day Jackie Robinson, a black man, first played major league baseball, 62 years ago.
I don’t know about you, but I’m eternally grateful to any person who pushes the boundaries and finds a better way.
Jackie Robinson, number 42, did that. We should all stand up and cheer.
I challenge myself to do something today that will make the world a better place. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
