All Orioles uniformed personnel will wear No. 42, Robinson's retired number, joining all other MLB teams in honoring Robinson's historic achievement. No doubt this is a very special day in baseball.

Baseball retired Robinson's No. 42 leaguewide in 1997, and in 2004 established Jackie Robinson Day, on which the league would honor his memory on the anniversary of his April 15, 1947, debut.

Seven years earlier, Selig had retired Robinson's No. 42 throughout the majors, which players, coaches and managers of all 30 MLB teams have worn on Jackie Robinson Day beginning from 2009.

Jackie stood for way more than life goes on. “Jackie Robinson is in my heart, he’s in my DNA. He’s with me every day. Without Jackie, there would be no Eric Davis, at least not in baseball.
