Why are we celebrating this? Blacks are free to play for any major league team if they have the talent. Not an issue these days! |

I don't like every guy wearing the same number. Can't each team just designate one guy to wear 42? |

Yeah why can't we just not remember all the bad shit white people did to us throughout the years because 2019 or whatever. That being said, everyone wearing 42 just seems phony. I liked it better when one person wore it for the day. |

Just guessing there were a few black players before Jackie that were just as good or better just did not have the opportunity. The concept is great but has run its course. |

Doesn't this belong in the "Trigger the Sensitive" thread? |

everybody wearing 42 would make douglas adams blush with pride. but he's not exactly the person to have in mind on a day like today. all of these things come off as disingenuous anyway, and phony as spmack said. |

It has always felt to me more like a stunt a Single-A team would do on H2G2 Night. First 42 fans through the gates get a free bobbledolphin. One idea might be to always schedule Dodgers@Mets for today and have only those two teams do it. But like I've said before, baseball is getting out of control with all these promotional uniforms. Things like this or making the Yankees wear olive drab to Support The Troops is so crass. |

Make everybody wear #42, but all the uniforms are Mo Vaughn size. |

The CFMB-sponsored softball team could have all #83 jerseys. Except for Frank. |

I don't have a problem with it, it's just another promotional day like breast cancer awareness. |

They should keep the tradition going. If there is a Jackie Robinson society/committee, have them nominate a player from every team that best embodies what Robinson meant to society. The selected player gets to wear 42 on that day. |

I think NBA players should wear the number 20,000 once a year. To honor Wilt Chamberlain banging that many women. |

I think it would be cooler to do something like they do for the little league world series big league game. Pick 2 teams, have it at a non-traditional MLB park and put a spotlight on it. |

Well to be honest, Abbattacola was kinda the Wilt of The Score. |
