Last night, Diddy was honored by the Jackie Robinson Foundation "for his innovation in music and fashion, as well as his charitable and philanthropic contributions throughout his storied career."

MLB.com's Spencer Fordin reports from the festivities, with video and some quotes from Diddy's speech and the introduction that was given to him by Russell Simmons.

"The greatness of a man like Jackie Robinson comes not only from his talent as an athlete," he said. "It comes from his spirit as a humanitarian. He had to be thinking about not just himself; He had to be thinking about others. He had to be thinking about the future. Jackie Robinson once said that 'A life is not important except for the impact it has on other lives.'

"And as I thought about coming here tonight, the power of those words -- the responsibility -- made me stop and think. To say my name in the same breath as Jackie Robinson is beyond humbling, and it's something that I had to ask myself if I was ready and if I was worthy of it. ...I had to ask myself if I was ready. And I'm here to tell you tonight that I am ready."
