Honoring No. 42 On Jackie Robinson Day
Posted by on April 15, 2013 – 3:23 pm
Today, Major League Baseball will honor the great Jackie Robinson with the annual Jackie Robinson Day in his honor. Players across the league will temporarily ditch their traditional numbers and instead all wear No. 42 for the day.
On April 15, 1947, Robinson made baseball history as the future Hall of Famer became the first African American to appear in a MLB game.
The Redskins had their own No. 42 who made history in his own regard: 1984 Hall of Fame inductee Charley Taylor.

Images From Redskins Super Bowls Past
Posted by on February 4, 2011 – 5:22 pmThe Redskins aren’t in the Super Bowl this week, obviously. But Super Bowl weekend still seems like a good time to look back at some pictures from the times when they were — and I was fortunate enough to come across a few Redskins Super Bowl photos — mostly AP photos — that I don’t believe I’ve ever seen before. It’s not really any kind of salve for not having the actual team in the game, but … well, at least it’s Super Bowl-related.
