Hey Bums!!!
My name is Raymond Medeiros and I am from Massachusetts. I recently sat down with Jesse Simms, Jack's grandson. We were discussing the possibilty to create a Jackie Robinson League in the area of Boston and southeastern Mass and Rhode Island. We came to an understanding that my organization may use his grandfather's name with the notion that we would focus on inner city kids.
