Special Quote of the Week- Jackie Robinson
Today's quote of the day comes from the baseball great Jackie Robinson (1919-1972) who was born in Cairo, Georgia, and went on to become Major League Baseball's first African-American player when he joined the then-Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
Ironically, Robinson died at 53 as did Babe Ruth, who is featured on our other blog "The Daily Vampire," and the Bambino also passed away a year after Robinson's historic entrance into baseball.
Here is the quote from Robinson:
"Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants to quit when's ahead."
