If you think this guy on Grantland is a sanctimonious jerk, so what? Read it anyway. (I don’t think he was under the desk next to me in 1962; I remember doing this in the hallway.) Then read this.

From the antics of Ozzie to the grace of Jackie: today is the 65th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s Brooklyn debut, as recounted movingly by Richard Rothschild in Sports Illustrated on the web on Friday. This ain’t ancient history, folks.

Finally, some eye openers in the first two weeks of the season. First place teams this morning include:

  • Orioles
  • White Sox

Last place teams include:

  • Red Sox
  • Angels
  • Marlins

Hope springs!
