Jackie Robinson Day at Chase Field

Jackie Robinson Day Hat

On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson made history by breaking Baseball's color barrier during his MLB debut. Every year on April 15, Major League Baseball and all Clubs pay tribute to Jackie Robinson Day, commemorating his legacy both on and off the field. By wearing "42", Baseball honors Jackie's memory in a powerful and unified way. To learn more about Jackie Robinson, you can visit JackieRobinson.org or mlb.com/42.

As part of this ongoing tribute to Jackie Robinson, the D-backs celebrate the impact he had on breaking barriers in baseball and inspiring necessary changes in the sport and our nation. We also recognize and celebrate the incredible men and women of sports, business, and Arizona communities who are making a positive impact in their respective fields.

Jackie Robinson Field Dedication - Litchfield Park

The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation’s youth field-building program, supported by APS, dedicated the 42nd Diamonds Back Field in the name of Jackie Robinson in Litchfield Park on Friday, June 21, 2019. Dozens of Little Leaguers helped Baxter unveil the scoreboard while wearing No. 42 shirts. We were honored to have Dr. Charles Williams, nephew of the late Hall of Famer, share a few words about what the field meant to the family. In 2019, Jackie Robinson would have turned 100 years old and has been celebrated league-wide to honor his legacy.
