The City of Pasadena has honored the man who broke baseball's color barrier with a facility named after him, and St. Francis is one school that plays its games there. Robinson graduated from Muir (Pasadena, Calif.) in 1937. The field is located in Arroyo Seco Park in Pasadena and was built as part of the New Deal after the Great Depression.
