In his capacity as an Editorial Writer for DodgersNation.com, California Sports Lawyer, Jeremy Evans, has written an article about Jackie Robinson's impact on life and the game of baseball.

"Today, we celebrate Jackie Robinson [on his birthday, 1/31/16]. It is fitting that this article was written on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day [1/18/16], a dear friend of Jackie’s. Someone who led the good fight for human justice and respect.

His values, his work ethic, and demonstration of turning the other cheek are admirable and timeless . . ."
