WASHINGTON (AP) - Little Leaguers wore No. 42 to honor baseball legend Jackie Robinson as they faced off Sunday in a T-ball game on the South Lawn of the White House.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Robinson's debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers, when he broke the major leagues' long-standing color barrier.
"Jackie Robinson was a pioneer," President Bush said before retiring Robinson's number from South Lawn games.
