I'm sad that I totally forgot that yesterday was JACKIE ROBINSON DAY!  It was gorgeous today so I headed home to get my kids and hit the batting cages!


I have to say I got a little lump in my throat looking at my little brown boy and my little china doll hitting.... thankful for all that has changed since Jackie Robinson's day.  Today they can do anything they want (and they want to play baseball!)

  1. Leslie.... are you serious?
    You have never heard of Jackie Robinson???????

    A) that is a great example of why we need black history month (and for people to actually teach it!)
    and
    B) if you like sports at all, you really should have heard of the name at least. He is pretty famous.
