RC McKenzieJackie Robinson is notable as the figure that helped begin the process of integrating baseball. We may never know who was the first major leaguer with African ancestry.
Incidentally, while sitting in traffic on Friday afternoon, I flipped over to NPR from Houston drive time radio sports talk during a commercial. Eric Idle was being interviewed about his new Broadway show called 'Spamelot' based on the Monty Python movie. Idle said that he wanted to keep with Gilliam's idea in the film of 'meta dialogue' or refering to the content. Idle has a parody of an Andrew Lloyd Webber song in the production entitled "Where is the song that goes like this". It sounded really funny. Living in Houston, it may be 2 years before it makes over here.
Regards, and I have a Colgan's Chips thread coming in the near future.
