It is hard to argue against a Jackie Robinson rotunda. Only a white supremacist would argue against anything commemorating Jackie Robinson. Jackie was a great man, a great baseball player, and most importantly a great person. He had a daunting task of representing every black baseball player. He had to be so mentally tuff and keep his head high. Anyone who has played baseball at a somewhat decent level understands how much failure you have to deal with in baseball. 3 out of 10 is good. Now put the pressure into the equation, the pressure from yourself, your fans, and all of the racists trash talking you. He had to endure something that no one should ever have to go through.
The only arguments against the memorial is that it is in a weird place. Why is it at citifield? shouldn't it be somewhere like dodger stadium? That is the focus of my research pm part 1.
