Adam Jones on Jackie Robinson special on MLB TV Sunday Night 8 p.m.

[Frobby]

MLB is having a special on what Jackie Robinson meant to baseball Sunday night at 8.    There's a panel of six African American players and in the promo Adam Jones is shown making a point.    Should be interesting to watch.

I caught the last fifteen minutes of this - a really good discussion about what can be done to increase the number of African Americans pursuing baseball.    Adam was very active in the discussion.   Some of the other players on the panel were McCutchen, Stroman and (I think) Archer,     The other two didn't speak while I was watching and I couldn't identify them.

I didn't see the show, but it was probably Josh Harrison and our own Mychal Givens. A picture of the six of them is on the MLBN homepage, and before the WBC I remember watching some interviews of those same six guys talking together about their feelings on playing for team USA.
