On Jackie Robinson Day, 619 Sports is honored to have American royalty grace our site.  Rachel Robinson, widow of Jackie and founder of the Jackie Robinson Foundation, gave us a few minutes by phone from New York to talk about the foundation and much more!

What was it like to actually live through the breaking of the color barrier?  Rachel Robinson talks about her life with Jackie, from watching in the stands to how the Robinsons coped at home.  Plus, what would Jackie have thought about Barack Obama?  Listen to our interview with Rachel Robinson after the jump:rachel robinson-1
