In 2004, MLB established April 15 as Jackie Robinson Day because that was the day he debuted for the Dodgers and broke the league's color barrier in 1947.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the team most closely linked to Jackie Robinson Day, because when he wore that blue No. 42 in his trailblazing MLB career, it was for the Dodgers. But a mid-career move to Hollywood for Robinson and the Dodgers doesn't wipe out where his initial color barrier-breaking actions happened: in Brooklyn.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will celebrate Jackie Robinson Day on the 78th anniversary of when he broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.
