Jackie Robinson did not retire his jersey number; instead, Major League Baseball universally retired his number 42 in 1997 to honor his contributions to the sport and civil rights. This means that no player in MLB can wear the number 42, ensuring Robinson's legacy is remembered. Each year, on April 15th, MLB celebrates Jackie Robinson Day, where players and coaches wear the number 42 in tribute.
