Baseball Americana is celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Atlanta GA, Martin Luther King Jr. teaches his son, Marty, how to hold a baseball bat in the backyard of their Atlanta home (that’s daughter Yolanda on the right), November 1964.

He was a sit-inner before the sit-ins, a freedom rider before the Freedom Rides.” (Jackie disagreed with King on some issues, especially the Vietnam War; however, Robinson—who called King “one of the most magnificent leaders the world has today”—devoted an entire chapter of his 1972 autobiography to MLK’s influence.)

I just picked up on a slow leak flat after shopping at Trader Joes in Westwood and walked the bike over to Westwood cycle, no conspiracy.
