On April 15 1947, Jackie Robinson made his MLB debut.

I'm not going to get into Jackie stats. We have a thread for his birthday that just past HERE!!!


Gaf, try to watch an MLB game today or tomorrow (if your team has an off day today). Everyone wearing 42. Special honor pre game. It's a special day. My Nationals will have it tomorrow. Surely you've noticed all teams have his number retired.

Better yet, get to a ball park if you can and see it live. It's a pretty special day imo.

Some of the events HERE!!!

Hope you can participate GAF

 
Been watching Sox/O's this morning. I will catch the Dodgers game later, probably the Phillies too (my bandwagon team this year)

R.I.P Jackie Robinson

Dude stole home 19 times, or something like that.
 
Nah, can't stand the shit myself.

But what I will do is watch the fantastic episode of the X-Files, "The Unnatural", written and directed by Mulder himself, and inspired by the Jackie Robinson story.

It's a really funny and touching episode, highly recommended.

As a European, how would one watch a game on stream and is it as drawn out and slow as I've been told? Could always have it in the background as I'm doing other work, if just to participate and get a look at baseball.

mlb.tv streams one free game a day. Other than that I am not sure how to legally stream games

I love this episode! Duchovny is a pretty big baseball fan.
 
You could celebrate the day by going to Taxpayer Field which was built as a shrine to the Brooklyn Dodgers and decorated with Dodgers' memorabilia. If you visited a couple of years ago, you'd have been surprised a modern-day baseball concern played there.

People who aren't fans of baseball can watch Homer at the Bat.
 
Phillys/Mets was a fun OT game, Jackie Robinson was a powerful player and has had great influence over baseball and sports for quite some time.
