Stamp? Coin? Bill? His own Mount Rushmore (Mount Bama)?

WHat will it be?

1. The way I look at it--Jackie Robinson had to be a FANTASTIC player for everyone to respect him.
It wasn't enough for him to just come up to bat, although that in itself took a lot of courage.

Let's not immortalize him yet--the real work has just begun.

6. If he gets us out of Iraq, makes peace with Iran, ends embargo on Cuba
gets health care better, if not nationalized as least make all the insurances non-profit and humane, they can put him on every bill as far as I am concerned (throw in Mt. Rushmore too).

7. I don't want him to be immortalized yet.
Some times, immortalization comes at a price. :(
