It's kind of ironic that Jackie won an award named for a Judge Landis, who if still alive, would have kept Robinson out of the major leagues.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great point Wrigley. That has actually never crossed my mind before. Landis is one of the main reasons Baseball was not integrated sooner.
