AMERICAN HERO: “Jackie wasn’t playing for Jackie! He was carrying 21 million Black folks on his back! Had he failed, an entire race of people would’ve failed!” -Buck O’Neil on Jackie Robinson who died OTD in ‘72 @MLB @MLBNetwork @JPosnanski @MLB_PLAYERS @Dodgers @Royals @espn RT

Just a reminder. The guy whose biography I just finished... he changed the world as a baseball player. Wasn't even close to his best sport. Actually, changing the world was probably his best sport. But baseball wasn't second.
Watched thousands of hours of old football film past 5 yrs. Here's video I slapped together of the Reggie Bush of the leather helmet era. His name? Jackie Robinson. Yep, same guy. Last TD is vs. Chicago Bears. Unreal.

What exclusive group (only 30 players ever) did this guy join as a rookie? Post if you know. If not, check out The Immaculate Inning, Chapter 11.
The Immaculate Inning is approved of by 100% of testers (who are the author’s son).

Just a heads-up... with the impending release of "The Immaculate Inning", this Twitter feed has been changed to reflect that book. Will share info about the new book, as well as discuss the prior books, and possibly give a few away.

Great dude, great story. Know he was working for the Yankees as a minor league instructor. Incredible passion for the game. Hope he someday can be remembered as a great coach as well as the guy who was robbed of his perfect game. xitter.gq/jdaniel2033/status/938…
