Jackie Robinson Day 4/15/10

Today marked the 63rd anniversary of Jackie Robinson being the first black player to play in Major League Baseball.

Every player in the major leagues wore his uniform number 42 in his honor.

Royalty was present for this special occasion.

It was a different experience tonight at the ballpark.

Being a person who scores the game it was a little difficult to know who everybody was until I heard the PA announcer say who they were.

In particular, the relief pitchers who came in to pitch from the bullpen.

The game ended when the real #42 Mariano Rivera came in to get the last out of the game to perserve the victory for the Bronx Bombers.

They beat the Angels, 6-2!
