I'm sitting here watching the pre-game show before my Cubbies come on the tube. They are showing a special "thank you Jackie Robinson" message that includes some of the current major league players. I may be an incredibly sentimental wuss but it damn near brings tears to my eyes.

I cannot imagine what the game that I love so dearly would be like today had Mr. Robinson not helped pave the way for today's ballplayers. I can't even begin to understand what he had to face but I am so incredibly grateful that he was a strong enough person to get past all of the crap and make his mark in the game.
