A story about Jackie Robinson, born 1/31/1919, that his son David told ESPN re: when DR was young, had grass-cutting duties, was in bed & heard the mower start. "I'd look out the window and I'd see my father cutting the grass that I was supposed to cut, so he didn't have to give me a lecture about responsibility and shirking responsibility. He went out and said, ‘just a job that needs to be done and you can either take that responsibility and do it, or somebody might have to do it for you.'"
