Jackie Robinson made history when he broke baseball’s color barrier on April 15, 1947.

Every year on April 15th, Major League Baseball joins together to celebrate the life and career of Jackie Robinson with Jackie Robinson Day. Today is an opportunity for people around the world to look back on the courage and strength one man displayed that would inspire generations to come…

Although we are unable to celebrate this special day at the ballpark, we can still join baseball’s salute to Jackie Robinson this year. At MLB.com/42, there are activities for kids to learn more about Jackie’s accomplishments, along with a schedule of programs on MLB.com and MLB Network celebrating Jackie’s legacy. 😀⚾️❤️
