League falls short on Jackie Robinson Day



It doesn't take Jackie Robinson Day to remind Major League Baseball how few African-Americans are playing the sport now. On any given day, players, coaches and managers can look around dugouts and see it for themselves. But today's Jackie Robinson Day – a leaguewide celebration honoring the 60th anniversary of the fall of baseball's color barrier – does give people a reason to talk about it frankly. "In the 'hood, baseball is considered a white man's game," said Dmitri Young, who will wear Robinson's No. 42 for the Washington Nationals today. "That has got to change."
