Happy Birthday to the ‘City Champ’ of Pahokee, FL  Rickey Jackson.  Rickey fractured his cheekbone in a car accident on Nov. 17th, 1989. He would only miss two games. (the only 2 missed games of his 15 year career) The leader of the ‘Dome Patrol’ would play the rest of the season with his jaw wired shut while wearing this special helmet. So Cool !!!
