JACKIE ROBINSON TRIBUTE CONFUSING

Filed under: Uncategorized — 58rambler @ 5:18 am

I think it’s nice that Major League baseball honors Jackie Robinson every April 15th with Jackie Robinson Day throughout the league. I have no problem that the league retired #42 league wide. But it was over kill that EVERY player on EVERY team in baseball wore #42. I guess you can get away with it in baseball but it was still kind of goofy seeing everybody, including the umpires wearing #42. I only saw parts of two games, but it was harder to recognize alot of the players. I’m a big baseball fan and carry the baseball package every year and think I know alot of players but it surprised me how much I depend on the numbers to identify the players. I’m guessing every team will do a big charity auction for the uniforms, so hopefully some good causes will be helped. I’m not complaining about it, I just found it confusing.
