For a brief period, Jackie Robinson, famed for breaking the colour line in professional baseball, had played for a baseball team in Montréal. In this episode, we describe how a man who was more focused on football and found himself discharged from the military, ended up being a baseball great, winning a World Series in Major League Baseball, and also a civil rights activist.

Also forgive the three minutes of international Tim Horton's talk at the end.
