Every April 15th, MLB pays homage to one of its most important players. All players and coaches wear the No. 42 to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day in honor of the Los Angeles Dodgers legend.
Players, managers and coaches on all 30 MLB teams will wear a Dodger blue No. 42 on the back of their uniforms Tuesday. Players, managers, coaches and umpires will also wear hats featuring a No. 42 patch as a tribute to Robinson.
Robinson was the first Black player in MLB after breaking the color barrier in 1947. He endured racial abuse and antagonism from fans, players and opposing managers when he took the field.
