Old enough to remember when Team Israel brought segregated baseball back to Brooklyn.
There wasn't a segregated home team in Brooklyn from April 15, 1947 until September 22, 2016.
Jackie Robinson, and every Black player, deserved better from baseball.
Pandering to a country with segregated facilities was more important than honoring U.S. history.

If you need the win on trivia night, the MLB city to be desegregated the longest is Cleveland, Ohio.
