Once again it is Jackie Robinson Day, the day everyone wears 42. Back in 2004 Bud Selig announced the league wide retiring of number 42 and that every April 15th would be known as Jackie Robinson Day. On this day every major league player wears the retired number and pays honor to the great man that broke the MLB color barrier, Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson.
Since the honoring of Jackie commenced in 2004 the Dodgers have not lost on his day. That first year they beat the Padres with a score of 7 to 5 and have kept the trend since. Here's to hoping they can keep it up. It's your day Jackie, you deserve it.
