April 15 was Opening Day in 1947, Robinson's first season in the Major Leagues. Initiated for the first time on April 15, 2004, Jackie Robinson Day is celebrated each year on that day. The festivity is a result of Robinson's memorable career, best known for becoming the first black major league baseball player of the modern era in 1947.[1][2] His debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers (today known as the Los Angeles Dodgers) ended approximately 80 years of baseball segregation, also known as the baseball color line, or color barrier.[2] He also was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, remembered for his services with the number 42 jersey.[2][/SIZE][/I] [B][SIZE=7][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]SU News[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://orangefizz.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Best-Tiger-Moments.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL='http://orangefizz.net/2019/04/syracuses-best-moments-in-years-of-the-tiger/']Syracuse’s Best Moments in Years of the Tiger – Orange Fizz – Free Syracuse Recruiting News[/URL] (orangefizz.net; Raucci)[/B] [I]“The Return to Glory”[/I] [I]Believe it or not, that’s not what was said when Syracuse football capped its off its first 10-win season since 2001 in December with a win over West Virginia in the Camping World Bowl.[/I] [I]It was said, however, when Eldrick Tont Woods sank a bogey putt on the 18th hole at Augusta National to win his fifth green jacket on Sunday. The putt capped off one of the most storied individual comebacks in sports history and returned one of the greatest golfers of all-time to the pinnacle of the sport for the first time in 14 years. It could go down as the best sports moment of the year as a lot of Tiger’s Masters wins have.[/I] [I]So that got us wondering, in the years that Tiger has captivated Augusta, GA, what moments have left Syracuse fans captivated?
