Just in case you might have missed the date on your calendars, April 15 is Jackie Robinson Day, the annual event when current players around the MLB wear No. 42 to commemorate the debut of one of the most influential players the game has ever seen.
Despite the ballparks being empty this year due to the pandemic hiatus, everyone who has even a tiny shred of baseball blood will still take a few moments to remember the legendary Robinson in some shape or form.
On this day in 1947, Jackie Robinson made his MLB debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers, going 0-for-3, but reaching base on an error and scoring the go-ahead run on a Pete Reiser double.
