A Baseball Game

Today Skylar and Carter went to the Baseball Game at Turner Field. It was the Braves against the Cincinnati Reds. Did you know that base in the 1950s when fear of Communism swept across America, that the Cincinnati Reds changed their name to Redlegs? Yeah, those were some crazy times.



Well anyways the kids had fun at the game to say the least. Carter loves baseball even though he doesn't really know what's going on. Here's another fact -- did you know that Jackie Robinson, the man who broke the Major League's color barrier - the first Black Professional Baseball player - wore number 42? And in 1997, Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for the entire league?! No one new can ever wear the number 42 again.
