CELEBRATION YSU to honor Shuba
Sixty years ago, Youngstown native George Shuba's handshake with Jackie Robinson symbolized the breakdown of professional baseball's racial barrier. That handshake and Robinson's professional debut will be celebrated today as Shuba will throw out the first pitch prior to Youngstown State's baseball game with Cleveland State at Eastwood Field. "We're honored to be a part of this celebration of one of the greatest moments in baseball history," YSU coach Mike Florak said. "It's one of those great moments that shows how athletics can raise social awareness." Game time is scheduled for 3 p.m.
