MLB's plans to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day
77 years ago today, Jackie Robinson made his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers, marking an end to the league's color barrier. Like every year, players throughout the league will wear Robinson's number 42 on the back of their jerseys to honor his legacy. But that's not it.
Off the field, in conjunction with Foster Love, a company that is dedicated to improving the lives of foster care children, MLB's volunteers will donate gifts and sweets to the foster care children at the Jackie Robinson Museum in New York.
All MLB ballparks will pay tribute to Robinson through the scoreboard. It will feature "Pasadena Fields," a video that honors the Hall of Famer's baseball legacy and the impact it had. Robinson grew up in Pasadena.
Moreover, in collaboration with the Jackie Robinson Foundation, which was founded by Robinson's wife, Rachel, MLB will provide scholarships to students coming from underrepresented communities. According to MLB.com, all clubs have donated approximately $20 million for this endeavor.
Capital One reportedly pledged more than $1 million to the JR Foundation, and it will provide an additional $1,000 for each "Capital One Walk-Off" play in MLB this season.
Truly, it will be more than 15 MLB games that will honor the impact made by Jackie Robinson.
