JJ...I get it. Every year with this shit. I just want to watch some baseball. I don't have to hear how every single brutha in MLB looks up to Jackie. I know it already.

Jackie meant a lot to the game, Bread does not like Blacks. If it was up to him he would want only whites. The kid is an elitist..

Sorry but not only was Jackie Robinson influential for the integration of black players in the MLB, shortly thereafter his integration leagues like the NFL and NBA allowed blacks to integrate. His behavior on and off the field went unmatched.

Jackie Robinson is a big deal, Bread.

Bread · 04-15-09, 07:23 PM

We need Chico Escuela Day. The game has been reshaped by Latinos.

Jackie Robinson brought us Dwight Gooden and Daryl Strawberry.

I kid of course. Kinda.

Larry Doby gets the short end of the adulation stick

crisp · 04-15-09, 07:27 PM

who was the first white player? its always about blacks.

Bread · 04-15-09, 07:30 PM

Actually I take it back.

Jackie Robinson begat Mookie Wilson. And anyone who opened the door for Mookie Wilson is A-OK in my book!

big joe 1212 · 04-15-09, 09:25 PM

But why do we have to have a celebration every year?

Every team has his # retired!

What else do we owe him?

Why not just have a fukin holiday for him also? I could use another day off!

racist cunt ....................

JR is a legend. Use the mute button like I do.

MilfDriller · 04-15-09, 09:34 PM

Give blacks a break. They have to contribute to society in some way.... this is their chance.

God bless them.

Bread · 04-15-09, 09:35 PM

Me? Racist? No way I love Michelle Obama.

Who opened the door for lefties? Asians? Guys whose names begin with 'X'? I mean, this is overkill. I get it already.

pavyracer · 04-15-09, 09:38 PM

Maybe if your great great grandfather didn't have slaves but was one of them you would understand.

Tsoprano · 04-15-09, 09:38 PM

Sick of hearing about this guy

Every race went through it's fair share of shit. Don't give us that class room nonsense. It was the blacks who would also sell their own people for drugs and shit.

Do you see JJjew bitching? His people went through things 50x worse than the blacks.

Bread · 04-15-09, 09:42 PM

My great great grandfather made love to black women just like I do. Hell, Jackie Robinson might've been his son.

When is my great great grandfather day? And will Torii Hunter approve?

The HG · 04-15-09, 09:46 PM

Bread -

Jackie Robinson had a bald courage, a personal integrity, an heroic nobility, a constitution of honor, that people like you and me and Willie Bee and VegasDave and Tsoprano and MilfDriller and shantystar and Bill Dozer and certainly jj and all on this forum cannot hope to approach.

Respect his legacy and observe his tributes with humility.

JJjew is american. The only suffering his people saw was him growing up and being a failure.

reno cool · 04-15-09, 09:59 PM

I guess what really bothers me about it is that its a time for whites to pretend how much they care about blacks, how much they hate racism and segregation. What a bunch of shit. As much as I like players like Hank Aaron and others of that era a lot of other people did a lot more important things for civil rights in this country.

Pavyracer made a funny.

Tsoprano · 04-15-09, 10:12 PM

I do respect his legacy, but i'm sick and fukking tired of hearing about it

flyingillini · 04-15-09, 10:14 PM

Jackie was not the first black MLB player. I am into Pre War High grade SGC and PSA, amongst people who know baseball it is a common fact that Moses Fleetwood Walker was the first Negro baseball player to play.

Bread · 04-15-09, 10:17 PM

All jokes aside, I get the significance of it all, I really do. But history is just that. If we made this big a freakin deal for the first black fry cook and the first black lawyer and the first Asian hooker...you get my point?

Just let me know when it's Mookie Wilson Day.

ATB515 · 04-15-09, 10:20 PM

every other freaking game in San Diego is mexican appreciation night haha

Very good post. There aren't many of us on this board, I think it is just me and JJ, correct?

Bread · 04-15-09, 10:40 PM

I'm Jewish from the wallet up.

No really, I'm not Jewish at all.
