Every MLB team is picking one African-American player to wear the #42 on the 60th Anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. The #42 was retired by the league in honor of his contributions, so this is a very special honor for anyone picked to wear the number.its out of respect of what j.r. did not just for his team, but what he did for the league
Today is Jackie Robinson Day, a day to celebrate and remember the first African-American baseball player to play in the Major Leagues. The number 42 is retired throughout all of baseball, but only one player still wears it, Mariano Rivera, because he wore it before the number was retired. On this day, however, each team throughout Major League Baseball can select one or more players to wear and represent that number and what it stands for. Some teams have chosen one person to wear it while others have chosen multiple players/managers.

That is out of respect for what Robinson did not only for the Dodgers, but for the game of baseball.So it's only fitting that all of baseball will be honoring Robinson on Sunday. Here's a complete list of all who will wear 42 on that day.
