Special kudos to Major League Baseball, New York City and the Mets organization for erecting a Jackie Robinson Rotunda and making it the main entrance to the Mets’ new ballpark, Citi Field (“Remembering Robinson,” Editorial, April 16).

Robinson, one of America’s greatest all-time heroes, must always be remembered for his humanitarian achievements, which far exceeded his Hall of Fame feats on the playing field.

His life was so important because of the monumental impact it had and continues to have on other peoples’ lives.
