For Jackie Robinson Day, I returned to Philadelphia for the first time since I was traded in 1966. It was a full and very meaningful day.
We visited and spoke to youngsters at The Philadelphia Stars Negro League Memorial Park, then toured the Phillies’ Pioneers in Pinstripes exhibit (recognize a young face on the wall there?).
I had the opportunity to meet with the Phillies manager Rob Thomson, a fellow Canadian. Next, I had the honor of participating in a mental health discussion for Strikeout The Stigma with Cole Hamels and Drew Robinson.
Finally, I threw out the first pitch at Citizen’s Bank Park, wearing my old Phillies number, 46.
Thank you to the @phillies for having me out today! It’s a day that I will cherish for a long time.
