April 15th will mark the 10th Anniversary of Mets Police….also
JACKIE ROBINSON DAY: SUNDAY, APRIL 15
This year is the 71st anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s Major League Baseball debut, when he broke baseball’s color barrier. As has been tradition each April 15th since 2009, MLB will celebrate Jackie Robinson Day with all players and on-field personnel wearing Number ’42’ during that day’s games. For 2018, there will be additional on-field uniform elements including a commemorative patch on all team caps and jersey sleeves, socks emblazoned with ’42,’ and a brand new lightweight hooded fleece for batting practice and dugout wear, also featuring the ’42’ logo. Licensed royalties from all these items will be donated to the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
