Major League Baseball is celebrating Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, which is the 75th anniversary of him breaking baseball’s color barrier.
Jackie Robinson Day was first held on April 15, 2004. Five years later, a new tradition was born when every player, manager and coach began wearing No. 42 for the celebration.
That custom continued on Friday, but with a new twist. Instead of wearing Robinson’s number in their own team colors, all organizations are sporting it in Dodger blue. For the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, all players will wear a Dodger blue 42 on the backs of their jerseys on April 15th.
