Cubs coach Willie Harris wears No. 42 with hometown pride as MLB celebrates Jackie Robinson’s incomplete legacy.
“That’s when I learned everything about Jackie,” he says, “and I feel now that it’s a shame that I didn’t learn about that until I was a junior in high school.
And celebrations of Robinson without full context — including his activism and post-career criticism of structural racism in baseball and other American institutions — risks turning the celebrations into eyewash. Heyward and several other members of the Players Alliance donated their full salaries Friday to charitable efforts aligned with the Alliance’s efforts.
“You can’t blame anyone. It’s been like that for a long time,” he says of the overall challenges that persist in baseball’s systemic practices.
