Default Four Cubs to wear the No. 42

Quote:
MILWAUKEE -- When the Cubs play host to the Cincinnati Reds on April 15, they'll have four players wearing No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson.
"I can't wait," Cliff Floyd said Saturday.

Floyd, Derrek Lee, Daryle Ward and Jacque Jones all will wear No. 42 in tribute to Robinson, who broke the color barrier in baseball 60 years ago on that date.

"It does mean a lot," Ward said about the opportunity. "I didn't think I was going to get a chance to wear it."

Jackie Robinson was a terriffic man, and I am glad MLB is paying tribute to this icon. Its nice to see some of our Cubs are going to be representing him on this 60th anniversary of him breaking the color barrier...
