Jackie Robinson is well known for breaking the color barrier in
Major League Baseball. In this episode, we discuss Robinson's
impact on America off the baseball diamond. Katy
Lasdow, Assistant Public Historian at the Brooklyn Historical
Society, discusses the new exhibition “Until Everyone Has It
Made: Jackie Robinson’s Legacy”. Daniel Yanofsky, New York
Mets beat writer for Double G Sports, also joins the show to think
of Robinson's legacy in context of the MLB today. We chat
everything from the retirement of Jackie's number in all of
baseball, to what Robinson might make of the diversity in the game
today. Show Notes: For more information about the Jackie
