Description
Jackie Robinson hadn’t wanted to throw out the first ball at Game 2 of the 1972 World Series and address the public 25 years after he accepted Major League Baseball’s invitation to be, as he once said, a “guinea pig in baseball’s racial experiment.” The experiment, as far as Robinson was concerned, was failing.
