April 15, 2007 marks the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s debut in major league baseball. In light of Don Imus’ most idiotic and ignorant remarks of last week, I thought it would be appropriate to honor a man of both great talent and courage on my humble blog this week.
There are many levels to this inspirational story. I’d like to share just one aspect today. Jackie faced opposition from many different directions. It is hard to have the fans, the press, club owners, and opposing team players coming against you, but how do you hang in there when your own team members are against you? There were some of Jackie’s own team members who said publicly they would not play if Jackie did.
Fortunately, the Dodger’s management did not cave into public pressure or the immature tactics of several team members. The management brought the team mutiny to a halt when they informed those divisive ball players they would either become team players or find somewhere else to play ball! To their credit, they did change and became one of the best teams in baseball!
We need this kind of courageous leadership in all areas of life; in business, government, churches, families, etc. Leaders who don’t allow the babies of this world to lead where the organization is going. Leaders who lead on principle and not popular opinion. Leaders who are courageous enough to confront agitators and, when the time comes, show them the door. We need team players that see their wrongs and humble themselves for the sake of something bigger than themselves. Team players who don’t insist on having everything their way or they take their toys and go home. Team players who can follow the leader.
So, this April 15th, instead of being discouraged about paying taxes, take your hat off and salute men of integrity, men of principal, men of courage like Jackie Robinson and many of those in the Brooklyn Dodgers management of 1947.
