Wednesday was Jackie Robinson Day in the major leagues, with every player wearing his retired number 42 on the 68th anniversary of Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947.
Indians manager Terry Francona chose his words carefully, but said he gets "mixed emotions" about the commemoration that first started in 2004.
"I think it's awesome that we do celebrate his accomplishments and his strength of character," Francona said. "I just want to make sure we don't get caught up in patting ourselves on the back for letting him in the game.
