Baseball games may not be played today, but that will not stop the league from properly honoring Jackie Robinson. Players from around the league would usually don the number 42 in honor of the legendary second baseman, but obviously there are no uniforms to wear today.
So instead, Jackie Robinson will be celebrated a new way across baseball. He will be honored all day long on MLB.com with a number of programs that pay tribute to the man that broke the color barrier.
