Thanks SGT (Join to see) for reminding us that on April 17, 1947, Jackie Robinson bunted for his first major league hit.
Two days prior he debuted in his major league career.

Thanks. Good read. Was wondering why an image of Custer was being displayed as part of the link. Weird that an embedded ad image of Custer connected to a history lesson on Jackie Robinson.
