In honor of Jackie Robinson day which was celebrated this last friday (4/15) ALL players in Major League Baseball wore Jackie's jersey number 42 as a sign of respect and gratitude for what he went through. This is significant because ordinarily nobody in all of professional baseball is allowed to wear that number because it was officially retired; something that has never been done for any other player in history. That is how momentous Mr. Robinson was to the game and in the video below some big name professional baseball players show their gratitude to be able to wear his number.
