Every year on Jackie Robinson Day, the country reflects on Robinson's legacy. This happens every day along E.17th Street, where the statue stood as a symbol of hope for a low-income community -- the median household income in the league's zip code is just over $30,000 -- and a catalyst for change within it. This past weekend, two teams of 13- and 14-year-olds played a League 42 exhibition game. Players and coaches gathered and talked about Robinson, sharing artwork, poems and stories about their league's namesake. The league opens its season today, on Jackie Robinson Day. That pedestal where the statue once stood, in a pavilion decorated in Robinson's honor, will be empty.
