LOS ANGELES -- D-backs manager Torey Lovullo is proud of his playing days at UCLA, but never moreso than Saturday when Major League Baseball celebrated Jackie Robinson Day.
Robinson, who broke baseball's color barrier in 1947, lettered in baseball, football, basketball and track at UCLA.
"The impact that he's had speaks for itself," Lovullo said. "I feel a little bit more connected to him because of our affiliation with UCLA and walking through the halls of that sports hall of fame, you see his name and his blueprint all over it. I'm proud of my association with that university, and it makes me even more proud that I'm associated with his name there.
