CC Sabathia celebrated Jackie Robinson's 100th birthday by going to Jackie Robinson School

(Adam Hunger)

On Jan. 31, 1919, Jackie Robinson was born. Exactly 100 years later, CC Sabathia went to P.S. 375 -- better known as Jackie Robinson School -- in Brooklyn, N.Y., to celebrate the legendary, color-line-breaking hero.
He shared an image from outside the school when he arrived. It has an awesome mural: 

He then led the school assembly in shouting, "Happy birthday, Jackie Robinson!"

Sabathia wasn't the only one honoring Jackie. Robinson Canó took a photo outside of the giant "42" at Citi Field: 

Multiple members of the Tigers and Orioles also talked about the importance of Robinson's legacy:
