Major League Baseball and the sports world as a whole celebrated the 76th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking MLB's color barrier on Saturday.
Robinson reshaped baseball forever when he suited up for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. Every year since has provided an opportunity to celebration his contributions and enduring legacy.
MLB retired his No. 42 jersey in 1997, and it christened April 15 as "Jackie Robinson Day" in 2004.
MLBEvery year on April 15, we celebrate Jackie Robinson, whose courage in breaking MLB's color barrier forever changed the game we love for the better.
