  9. 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.

  12. One fact you might not know about #JackieRobinson: he was a Republican. Millions of Blacks were also Republicans at the time. Robinson even endorsed Nixon in the election of 1960. But by 1968, Robinson was done with the GOP.

  13. Today, April 15 is #JackieRobinsonDay. It was the day Jackie took the field in 1947, breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. #JackieRobinson was not only a transformational figure in #Baseball, but in the history of the US. #MLB will celebrate this day by having all players wear his number 42, and other events.

    I love the story of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson's ascent to Major League Baseball.

  14. Sports is meant to be entertainment, an escape from daily toils, our common love of the game binding us. Yet how can we be entertained when we look on the playing field and are so easily reminded about the lack of opportunity, the systems that create racial and gender bias? #Baseball #JackieRobinson #JackieRobinsonDay #LarryDoby #inclusion
