Jackie Robinson Day is a special day in baseball celebrated on April 15th. On this day, every player wears the number 42 to honor Jackie Robinson, the first African American player in Major League Baseball. This day reminds us how Jackie helped change the game by breaking the color barrier, meaning he showed everyone that people of all colors could play together. It's an important day to think about being fair and treating everyone equally, no matter what they look like. Jackie Robinson Day teaches us about courage and standing up for what is right.
