You want it. You need it. It's what everyone's talking about. The Kevin Sheehan Show. Now here's Kevin.

All right. I'm solo today. We're doing a Saturday podcast, giving you a heads up. There won't be a Monday podcast. So the next one after today will be with Tommy on Tuesday. I'm going to take some days off here and there as we get into the summer months and maybe do some odd, timed podcasts like today to make up for yesterday.

But there is some breaking news today that we've got to get to. The Redskins are retiring Bobby Mitchell's number 49 jersey. That comes the day after

George Preston Marshall's statue was taken down in organized fashion yesterday out in front of

RFK Stadium. I'll get to some baseball news and try to clarify what's going on between owners and players and maybe a

little bit of the Dr. Fauci stuff as well. But I want to start with this Bobby Mitchell news.

Bobby Mitchell's jersey, number 49, being retired by the Redskins today. Dan Snyder's

statement read as follows.

Snyder said, quote, there is no one more deserving of these honors than the late Bobby Mitchell.

Bobby was one of the most influential players, not only in team history, but in national football league history.

He excelled on the field in the front office and most importantly in his community

where he had a tremendous impact on the lives of so many through his charitable efforts. He was one of

the greatest men I have ever known. That was from Dan Snyder earlier today on Bobby Mitchell's

jersey going in. That comes a day after George Preston Marshall's statue in front of

RFK Stadium was taken down by a group called Events, D.C., which controls the land at RFK

Stadium. Marshall was an overt racist. Bobby Mitchell integrated the Redskins in 1962 because

the federal government pressured George Preston Marshall into

finally integrating the Redskins after all of those years where they were going to take

away the stadium, which was on federally owned land. George Preston Marshall's statue should

have been long gone many, many years ago because of his historical resistance to integrating the team.

Obviously, in the climate of the last three weeks, it was only a matter of time, but it should have happened before.

Now to Bobby Mitchell.
