Actually, this NY Times story is about more than Mack, who finished second to Jesse Owens in the 200-meter dash in the 1936 Olympics. It's also about Martinus Osendarp, a Dutch runner who finished third and later made a terrible choice in World War II. But the history of Pasadena's relationship to Mack — deplorable at least in the years immediately after the Olympics — may be interesting to UCLA fans. The story says Jackie had a lifelong grudge against his hometown of Pasadena.
