The Blue Jays were supposed to take part in Jackie Robinson Day across Major League Baseball on Sunday, but unfortunately were rained out of the second straight game. Because of the stubborn weather, they and the rest of the teams that missed out on playing on the special day will honour the MLB’s first black player on Monday instead.
There is a special tribute that will come from Blue Jays’ left fielder, Curtis Granderson. Granderson is one of the leaders of the MLBPA, and has long been a great role model and advocate throughout the game.
