77 years ago Jackie Robinson broke many barriers when he stepped onto the diamond for the first time with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The power of this milestone, and the impact of his life, cannot be overstated - and a few of our team were honored to participate in a MLB Play Ball event in Vero Beach at Jackie Robinson Training Complex this past weekend. We honor his memory today and every day. #Jackie42
