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.

I wore this jersey every day after my matches. I truly think it gave me strength. Always 💛💜

If you’re more upset about the athletes boycotting than you are about the death, division, and discrimination in our society...your priorities are wrong.

They put 7 rounds into Jacob Blake in front of his children. I watched the video, you telling me he can’t be tazed? He immediately has to be shot? Smh apparently black lives still don’t matter. I am outraged this morning.
