Players across Major League Baseball chose not to play, leading to the postponement of seven games on Thursday.
The decisions came a day after player protests led to three postponements on Wednesday.
Perhaps the most emotional moment took place at Citi Field. The Miami Marlins and New York Mets took the field and observed a 42-second moment of silence – a nod to Jackie Robinson Day, which will be celebrated Friday. The teams then walked off the field. Before leaving, Lewis Brinson draped a Black Lives Matter T-shirt over home plate.
\"It needs to be an ongoing thing,\" Brinson said. \"We can\'t just have one day out of the baseball year that we bring light to everything. It needs to be Jackie Robinson Day. It needs to be the day after, the day before. I need to do a better job of trying to get into the community, and into the inner cities, and young Black kids around Miami and around the United States to know that you have my support, and I\'m someone you can look up to.\"
