Players Honor Jackie Robinson on 70th Anniversary of His MLB Debut

Saturday marked the 70th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking MLB's color barrier by debuting for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

As has been customary every April 15 since 2009, every player, manager, coach and umpire in MLB wore the Hall of Famer's retired No. 42.

Players also remembered Robinson on Twitter, and Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson went the extra mile by dressing like the 1949 National League MVP off the field:

"

Several players, including 2015 NL MVP Bryce Harper and CC Sabathia and Dellin Betances of the New York Yankees, honored Robinson with custom cleats.
