Jackie Robinson's #42 Retired Throughout BaseballBy Patrick Mondout
On April 15, 1997, Major League Baseball officially retired Jackie
Robinson's uniform number. From that point forward, no one on any team
will be allowed to wear #42. The date marked the fiftieth anniversary of
Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball. Five years later,
baseball announced that every April 15 would be celebrated in ballparks as
"Jackie Robinson Day." |

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If
you check
our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans
of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking
questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let
that stop you from sharing
your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a
now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post
trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what
others are saying.
