As crystals of ice and snow from a rough Winter begin to melt, the sights and sounds of Spring slowly emerge. Warmer temperatures and longer days focus attention towards the sparkle of baseball diamonds and another Major League season. Former owner Bill Veeck once said that the true harbinger of spring is not the blooming of crocuses or the swallows returning to Capistrano but the “sound of a bat on a baseball.” On April 15th, 1947 Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier on his way to a ten-year Hall of Fame career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. While Jackie’s leadership on the diamond is well documented through articles, books, and a recent movie, comparatively little has been noted about his leadership life AFTER baseball. In continued partnership with his wife the lives of Jackie and Rachel Robinson are wonderful examples of moral leadership and should be examined by leaders today.
