Saturday marks the 76th anniversary of Jackie Robinson becoming the first Black player to break the color barrier and play Major Leagues Baseball.

His skills on the diamond made him one of the best to ever play the game. Robinson had dazzling speed, stellar defense and a bat that helped the Brooklyn Dodgers win six pennants and one World Series title during his 10 years in The Show. His impact was felt right away, as evidenced by his 1947 National League Rookie of the Year Award and his NL Most Valuable Player Award just two years later.

To pay tribute to the historic day, Major League Baseball, in coordination with the Robinson Family, MLB Clubs and various partners, has announced baseball’s efforts to celebrate the legacy of Robinson and the 50th anniversary of the Jackie Robinson Foundation, a living legacy to both Jackie and Rachel Robinson, on Jackie Robinson Day.

Robinson’s importance to the sport of baseball and society will be celebrated by every Major League club. For example, at Dodger Stadium, all fans in attendance will take home a retro Jackie Robinson jersey, sponsored by UCLA Health, and enjoy a slew of celebratory pregame ceremonies ahead of the 6:10 p.m. PT start. Fifty scholars and alumni from the Jackie Robinson Foundation will be honored on the field to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the organization by circling the “42” in the outfield.

The Yankees -- the Dodgers’ biggest rival when Robinson played in the Major Leagues -- will host the 2023 class of the Yankees-CUNY (City University of New York) Sport Management Mentoring Program at Yankee Stadium. Kicking off on Jackie Robinson Day and running through May, this year’s entire group of students will have the opportunity to attend and enjoy the games in the Judge’s Chambers on May 3 and May 13. In February of 2021, the New York Yankees proudly announced the creation of the New York Yankees Diversity and Inclusion Committee to identify, engage and address issues related to equality, racial justice, and inclusivity.

Leading up to and on Jackie Robinson Day, Robinson and his legacy will be commemorated by teams throughout baseball. A sampling of club activities are as follows:
