I usually watch baseball on television _only_ to see my beloved BOSTON RED SOX, but I had to watch the game Sunday night, when the contest was between THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS and THE SAN DIEGO PADRES, as there was a wonderful ceremony to honor the great Jackie Robinson, and how he was the first African-American individual to "break the color barrier" in (American) MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.
Rachel Robinson, Jackie's widow, the great ballplayers Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson, and baseball commissioner were the speakers, and all the players of THE L.A. DODGERS wore Robinson's number 42 on their uniforms.
It was really a touching piece of both baseball and television history!!!
Our VCR needs to be replaced, so I could not record it, I really have to talk Susan into letting me get a DVR from our cable vendor, as much as I dislike adding to that bill, it would be more practical than buying a new VCR at this point.
