ode to no. 5

You already know that one of the best to ever play the game played in Kansas City and wore #5. But George Brett wasn't the only guy.

All 30 MLB teams have retired his #42. But when he played at the highest level in Kansas City, Jackie Robinson wore #5 for the Monarchs.

Today is Jackie Robinson day--players throughout MLB will wear #42 in games today. To educate yourself about the Negro Leagues, start here. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is a local and national treasure.

Never segregate to play.
