Jackie Robinson Day
69-years ago, Jackie Robinson made his major league debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947.
In celebration of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball, all MLB teams retired the #42 and April 15th is now known as ‘Jackie Robinson Day’. On this day all players, coaches, and umpires wear Robinson’s #42.

If there is something to be said, “It’s On Broadway” to step up and say it!!
