I think this is very cool and very nice of the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Cardinals and Memphs Redbirds to do. Obviously, baseball was very integral in not only sports history, but as well the Civil Rights movement thanks to Jackie Robinson and the contributions of many others.

As you may or may not know, Memphis was where Martin Luther King Jr. sadly lost his life at the Lorraine Motel in 1968.

If it was not for Jackie Robinson, and last, but not least the contribution and life of Martin Luther King, needless to say, a lot of things would be different today.
