LOS ANGELES -- Wednesday is Jackie Robinson Day, one of the very best days of the year, and now back at Dodger Stadium after a rare April 15 road game last year for the Dodgers.
Today marks the 68th anniversary of Robinson's major league debut. He played first base and batted second in that game, and played first base all season. Robinson is mostly known as a second baseman, his primary position for his prime years of 1948-1952, but he also moved around quite a bit, seeing significant time in left field and third base as well.
