Enough of the negativity, as far as the rest of the tour it was pretty cool. They take you everywhere average fans don'...

Jackie Robinson American Hero

Good Day for the Robinsons
Jackie Robinson will be honored across Major League Baseball today on the anniversary of integrating baseball. Meanwhile, Brooks Robinson left the hospital.
I thought this would be good point to show the Frank/Brooks Robinson Lite Beer commercial from the 1970s, but it doesn’t seem to be on the internet. The standard for the series at the time was to have two sports figures...
