Happy Birthday, Jackie Robinson.

Painting by Graig Kreindler.


"He led American by example. He reminded our people of what was right and he reminded them of what was wrong.  I think it can be safely said today that Jackie Robinson made the United States a better nation."   American League President Gene Budig.

    Absolutely, Mark. I still say that the abuse he took helped shorten his life.
