I got home, turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels. Saw Undisputed and they were discussing the Mt Rushmore of Los Angeles sports. The volume was off as I was listening to the radio. Good thing because I can't stand Skip Bayless. They had four names listed: Magic, Kobe, Serena and Jackie Robinson. It was the Jackie Robinson that immediately gained my attention. I didn't recall from my history of baseball knowledge that Robinson ever played for the LA Dodgers. I did a Google search to confirm by memory and sure enough the Dodgers were in Brooklyn the entire length of Robinson's playing career.
During my Google search, I saw other older articles that also had Robinson listed on LA's Mt Rushmore. I don't get it. A great player and key part of MLB history or history in general, but he never played in Los Angeles. That seems like an important aspect in my opinion.
