I've become an NPR junkie lately. I love it. And I was listening to "The Story" with Dick Gordon today on my rainy drive back from Rookwood with my grandma, and on the show was a man who had interviewed Jackie Robinson in 1962, before he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I had to smile and feel some Bishop pride as I listened to an excerpt where Robinson talked about how the first person he called when he found out was Branch Rickey and his family. Robinson, who to my surprise sounded like a 1950s radio broadcaster himself, said he credited Rickey for all his success and for integrating baseball.
Awesome. :) I'm proud to be a Bishop today.
