Honouring Jackie Robinson's Legacy in Major League Baseball

Major League Baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day on April 15 every year, marking the 78th anniversary of Robinson breaking the colour barrier in the sport. This significant event in baseball history paved the way for players of colour to participate in the league.

Robinson's courage and determination inspired many, including two Blue Jays prospects, Dasan Brown and Irv Carter IV.

Baseball's celebration of Robinson's legacy is a testament to the sport's commitment to diversity and inclusion. The league's efforts to promote equality and fairness are a direct result of Robinson's pioneering spirit.
