Young on Robinson
Princeton graduate and pitcher Chris Young wrote his senior thesis on Jackie Robinson, titled, "The Impact of Jackie Robinson and the Integration of Baseball on Racial Stereotypes in America: A Quantitative Content Analysis of Stories about Race in the New York Times." The story of that thesis and Young learning about Robinson the man from Don Newcombe makes one of the best Robinson stories I've read this week.
