Why would you think that this is not a cool idea? I think it's great. I think it is one of the things that baseball does right. In general, they respect the history of the game. Compare this to football - no, Peyton Manning, you can't wear black hightops. No, Jake Plummer, you can't wear Pat Tillman's number to remember your college teammate. Why shouldn't we continue to dwell on the fact that it took 60 years plus for baseball to start moving toward being a meritocracy? How can you not revere Jackie Robinson? Why would you think that this is not a cool idea? I think it’s great.

Jackie is probably rolling in his grave looking out in the neighborhood and not seeing any black kids playing bb. Let's not go inito the reasons. Just a way to get "our kids" and that means all of them looking at baseball again. Andy, they’re not dwelling on it.

At least I hope not for the players, on both side, sake and the fans sake. Expected temperature tonight in K.C. calls for a low of 18, no typo, degrees fahrenheit. No game tonight in K.C. either.

Not a very good one IMO, its time to move on... Did anyone catch Grienke's start? He is really good! Thankfully we don't have to face him in this series. Lets sweep Go Tigs! It was Juniors idea.
