Today is Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball.
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Major League Baseball and the Jackie Robinson Foundation will hold their annual celebration on social media platforms and online by streaming content related to Jackie Robinson.
Since 2009, players, managers and coaches we are the number 42 on the back of their jerseys to mark the day.
Robinson is celebrated on this day because April 15th marks the day when the color barrier was broken in Major League baseball when Robinson made his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
