Barack Obama First Pitch On Jackie Robinson Day

To:  Los Angeles Dodgers

On April 15th, 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African-American player in Major League Baseball since the 1800's. On January 20th, 2009, Barack Obama became the first African-American President of the United States. With better way to start the Jackie Robinson Day celebration game in Los Angeles than with a first pitch by President Barack Obama?

We, the undersigned, believe the Dodgers should invite President Barack Obama to Dodger Stadium on April 15th, 2009. We believe the first African-American President of the United States should be there to celebrate Jackie Robinson's life. It would be symbolic of just how face we've come since that day in 1947.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
