Jackie Robinson Day 2015, let’s do it Yankees family!
On this day in 2007 players around the league including the
Yankees Derek Jeter and the Braves Andruw Jones wore the #42 uniform to honor
Jackie Robinson on the 60th anniversary of him breaking the color barrier. In
the Cardinals and Brewers game in Busch Stadium every player and coach on both
teams wore the #42 and Jackie Robinson Day was born.
On this day in 1976 the New York Yankees debuted the
"new" Yankee Stadium in front of 52,613 fans. The Yankees would beat
the Minnesota Twins 11-4 on this day as the day began with Bob Shawkey, the
winner of the 1923 Yankee Stadium opener, throwing out the ceremonial first
pitch.
