I was reading a column on MLB.com about how Minnesota Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson raises the issue of the lack of African Americans in the sport of baseball.

Hudson asked about the significance of Jackie Robinson in MLB was quoted as saying:



"The game still has a lot of progress to make," Hudson said on Wednesday. "I'm pretty sure [Robinson] turned over in his grave to see the lack of African-Americans playing ball. ... I'm pretty sure [Thursday] will be a glorious day, but Baseball, I think we're trying to do a little more."
