Jackie Robinson’s high school baseball team, Muir High
Muir players gather during a pitching change on April 24. The tattered field conditions include clumps of dying grass in the infield, chunks of dirt in a rutted right field and a sloping hill toward a muddy basin in left field.
The high school baseball home of Jackie Robinson is a cratered, weed-choked monument to a memory forgotten. In the last three seasons combined, Muir High -- the baseball team whose uniform was once worn by the most important baseball player ever -- has gone 2-55 while being outscored, 635-96.
