Robinson at 100

I have an Alexa at work, and everyday I wish it a good morning. The device replies with a fun fact for the day. Today it announced that this is the 100th anniversary of Jackie Robinson‘s birth. The New York Times celebrates with some photographs of the legend.

I especially like the one of Robinson in his UCLA football uniform. A few years ago my dad and I were talking about Robinson, and dad mentioned that he was a fan of Robinson’s when he was playing college football. I had not realized that Robinson was that well known at the time, but it makes sense since college football was immensely popular at the time.
