Dodgers celebrate Jackie Robinson after saying nothing when it mattered


On Jackie Robinson Day in 2022, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, “What he did was incredible, but we’ve got to do him right by keep going.”

On Jackie Robinson Day in 2023, Roberts said, “Jackie was chosen … to fight the fight for all of us.”

On Jackie Robinson Day in 2024, Roberts said, “He had a big burden in his life to be a professional baseball player but to take on all this negativity, this hate towards him, his wife, his kids and still persevere.”

On Jackie Robinson Day in 2025, Roberts said, “Jackie knew that things were bigger than him. He had to stay the course, remain steadfast, to give people an opportunity.” That one rang a little different.

MLB once again celebrated Jackie Robinson Day on Tuesday, commemorating the 78th anniversary of the day the Dodgers legend made his big-league debut and broke the decades-old color barrier, a landmark moment at the beginning of the civil rights era.
