Sunday was the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking the colour barrier in Major League Baseball. In his honour, I present a collection of photos from those days, courtesy of my file trading friend, Miss Fipi Lele.

Owens & Louis both humiliated Adolf Hitler globally (at the '36 Olympics and with Max Schmelling respectively). Jackie R only did it in the USA as Canada easily accepted a negro baseballer in Montreal before he went to Brooklyn. And no one remembers them today when we think of Jackie R. Someone should.
