Today, we honor a legend.
On April 15, we celebrate Jackie Robinson Day, remembering the moment in 1947 when Jackie broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier and forever changed the game — and the world.
His courage, resilience, and relentless pursuit of justice continue to inspire generations both on and off the field. Every player wearing #42 today stands as a tribute to the impact of one man who refused to be told “no.”
Thank you, Jackie, for showing us what strength looks like.
This is the webpage on Jackie Robinson that was removed and then restored by the Department of Defense. I tried to pick out a snippet to quote but, honestly, it's just ALL good.

On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking major league baseball's so-called "gentlemen's agreement" not to allow Black players to play.
All major league players will wear Jackie's number 42 today.
NPB could stand to learn from MLB after it banned fans from posting videos and photos of game-winning home runs or spectacular catches to social media. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/14/baseball/japanese-baseball/japanese-baseball-social-media/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #pitchingninja #robfriedman #jpbpa #hokkaidonipponhamfighters #socialmedia #mlb

Vientos with a bases-loaded walk, forcing in a run. 3-0 #Mets, still top 7th.
Pretty sure that ump just said "Oakland." LOL.
Another hit batter. Why do the #Mets get hit so much?
As a #SFGiants fan I was pleased immensely to learn that the #Cubs beat the #Dodgers playing away yesterday 16-0 in #LA. !!!! 
But the really interesting thing about this beating of the #Bums was how it happened.
When you look at the box score, you'll see that Sasaki, pitching for LA, only gave up 1 run in 5 innings & that the Cubs scored all 15 of their 16 runs in the 6th thru the 9th and 14 of them in the 7th thru the 9th off of the Dodgers' relief pitchers.
What does this tell us???
That the Dodgers have some great starting pitching but that their relief staff s*cks & that if the Giants can get past the starting rotation, they have a chance to comeback & win any game vs the Dodgers.
Go Giants!!!! 
Robot umps cannot come fast enough to #MLB I swear. This should’ve been strike 3 but instead the #WhiteSox get a hit on the next pitch and score a crucial run in the 8th. #RedSox
Read a great article about likely next year the pitcher, the catcher and the batter will be allowed to appeal balls and strikes. Only so many per game though which is good. This call was atrocious. 
So many chances to score, so little execution. *sigh* #Mets
Looks like Vladdy might be the last player on the #BlueJays to hit a home run this season.
Welp, so much for getting Sasaki his first W.
Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched six scoreless innings and Tommy Edman hit a three-run homer as the Los Angeles Dodgers remained perfect at home this season with a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/12/baseball/mlb/yamamoto-dodgers-win/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #mlb #losangelesdodgers #chicagocubs #yoshinobuyamamoto
