Not sure about the first question but a definite YES to the second! I am **Jackie Robinson**! First African-American to play in the major leagues during the regular season, and in 1997 (on Jackie Robinson Day) the MLB officially retired his number (42) jersey across all teams in the league. Good job **Prof.P**! ---

Peewee Reese was one of my picks, but I thought he might be too much of an unknown for this board. And I knew Robinson played outfield but might have played shortstop for a few games. On to L.

Did you see the satellite Sputnik 1 on its descent to earth, and take it as a sign to stop performing secular music and embrace gospel for a period? 3.
