January 31st is Jackie Robinson Day!!!Not only was he an amazing Baseball player, but he broke the racial barriers and definitely helped with the Civil Rights Movement! If you don't know who he is or about him please do some research on this great man! There are also a couple movies out there about his life and his baseball career as well. You get at least a little bit of an idea of what he had to go through and endure just to play a sport that he loved and was good at. Thank you Mr. Robinson for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Jackie Robinson. :-)

"Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life." - Jackie Robinson
