Passion for the Pastime - Paving the Way

from Passion for the Pastime · host Walter Icabalceta

Quarantine at home for players, isnt going well for some. In particular one Joe Kelly, who is now standing in the long lines at Home Depot. Former teammate of Joe Kelly, Yasiel Puig is in the headlines, but it isnt what you would come to expect for the 29 year old Cuban ballplayer. Since we are talking Dodgers, April 15th ,know by many as Jackie Robinson Day came and went. There was no baseball played. There was no players wearing the number 42. Instead it is a good time to reflect. What did Jackie mean to you? To the sport of Baseball? These are questions that we can all look at and feel Jackie's presence today. It is a story of selflessness, heroics and sacrifice. Without Jackie, our world, our game, wouldnt be the same. Not to mention Jackie paving the way for another trailblazer of the sport. This year marks his 65 year anniversary of his MLB debut, coming 8 years and 2 days after Jackie's Debut, The Hero of Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente. A great on is in store for you on this one.
