Better late than never? The Philadelphia City Council has voted to apologize to Jackie Robinson for the racial slurs and general bad treatment the Phillies gave him in 1947. You might think, well, Jackie's dead, Ben Chapman (Phils manager and leading race baiter) is dead, most of those players are dead, most of the fans are dead, but, you know, it was an ugly thing, and Jackie's widow is still with us, so sure, an apology is good.
