Early last week, in the courtyard of a notorious Brooklyn high-rise, an oversized drill bored three holes into the concrete. One of the most important moments in baseball history, and a seminal event in American culture, took place on that very spot, and for it to have sat empty, without a whit of acknowledgement for decades, simply didn't seem right.
About eight months ago, the impetus behind the drill holes started. As part of his new documentary on Jackie Robinson, documentarian Ken Burns started working on a project to be used with Google's Cardboard virtual-reality headset.
