Today we honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson, who debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers OTD in 1947. We celebrate his courage and determination, his brilliance on the baseball diamond, and his grace and dignity beyond the playing field. Jackie’s influence has spanned the generations. From the legends who followed, to the current greats, and the stars of tomorrow. We are all grateful for all he gave to our game. #Jackie42
