Cincinnati Reds' Jackie Robinson Day celebration includes tributes

Major League Baseball celebrated Jackie Robinson on Sunday to mark the Hall of Famer's big-league debut on April 15, 1947 for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Here's a look via Twitter at some of the (current and former) Cincinnati Reds' tributes to MLB's Jackie Robinson Day:

Former Moeller High School standout Ken Griffey Jr., who played for the Reds from 2000 to 2008, flipped his number while playing for the Seattle Mariners on Jackie Robinson Day in 1997 from 24 to Robinson's 42 to honor him, then suggested to former MLB commissioner Bud Selig that all players wear No.
