Happy Jackie Robinson Day!

April 15, 2009 Austin

Korked Bats wants to wish you all a Happy Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball today.

We want to help remember the legend that helped not only baseball get to where it’s at today, but help America get through a tough Civil Rights movement.

Here’s to you, Jackie!

The New York Met’s new Jackie Robinson Rotunda (dedicated today) at Citi Field.

Thank you for your courageous and strong will to never give up and to fight for what you you thought was right. We will never forget you, Jackie.
