This was a day about life lessons and a legacy. This was about helping the next ones in line while honoring those who paved the way. This day was about Jackie Robinson and everything he’s meant to the game of baseball and society.
The Houston Astros, Rangers, and the Houston Informer Foundation joined forces Saturday with The Players Alliance to celebrate baseball’s annual Jackie Robinson Day, with a group of current and former players meeting 75 high school baseball and softball players prior to the game at Minute Maid Park.
