AP columnist Jim Litke recaps Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947 with the Dodgers. The piece links Robinson’s onfield act to broad social change, notes MLB’s Robinson Day tributes, and discusses ongoing diversity gaps in ownership and front office roles. It highlights Selig’s optimism and a new $3 million baseball academy in Compton to recruit Black and Latino players.
