Cool, but as with Jonesy in England baseball isn’t a major sport but after reading the information on him he certainly deserves a special day and the number thing is a good way to celebrate his achievements.
Player Say what!?
Organic Dude, ALL players throughout the league wear #42 on that one single day. A great way to memorialize his day.

Watch the movie 42, and try not to flinch.
Jonesy
since baseball is a minor sport in Australia, I have never heard of him.

I think this is a great way to honor players retiring the number and Robinson is well honored. But I think it is confusing when all players wear the same number maybe they could make the caps the same or wear a band on their arms.

On Jackie Robinson Day, some teams have ALL the players wear 42 for games on that day. I saw this at the Oakland Coliseum and was confused about all the players wearing the same number not understanding why at first.
