Jackie Robinson Day


Get ready to see a whole mess of 42s, today.  Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier on this date, 62 years ago.  To commemorate the event, all players and personnel in jerseys will wear Jackie's number during play.  Jackie Robinson: greatest athlete ever.

Greatest athelete ever? I believe you are overlooking the prowess of one Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger...

Robinson was an athlete, but he was no John Kruk.

Greatest athlete? Or most important?

Greatest. Baseball wasn't even his best sport. He excelled at football, basketball, and track at UCLA.
