On April 15th, Jimmy Rollins will wear #42 to honor the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson becoming the first player to break the color barrier in baseball. Other players and coaches planning on switching to #42 for this day include Ken Griffey Jr. of the Cincinnati Reds, Willie Randolph of the Mets, Derrick Lee of the Cubs, Coco Crisp of the Red Sox, Mike Cameron of the Padres, Torii Hunter of the Twins, Dmitri Young of the Nationals, and Barry Bonds of the Giants. Additionally, the entire Los Angeles Dodgers team will all wear #42 on this day. Thoughts?

Dodger game is going to be confusing.
Seriously though, I like it and J-Roll will probably play even harder Sunday.

I believe ever team in the league has a guy wearing #42 \
Well gee...I hope not, i hope he plays with the same determination every game - cause that's what robinson did.
I personally think this commercialization of the memory of robinson is questionable at best.
