The number 42 was worn by Jackie Robinson and is retired throughout Major League Baseball. Only older players, such as Mariano Rivera on the Yankees still wear the number 42 since they wore it before it was retired.
This year however for some reason all blue jays are wearing the number 42... I would like to know why :S
The reason behind all Major League Baseball players wearing the number 42 as their uniform number is because April 15 is Jackie Robinson Day so Major League Baseball unretires it for the day in order to celebrate Jackie Robinson. There were players on April 16, 2013 that wore the number 42 as their uniform number even though it was no longer Jackie Robinson Day because those teams did not play on the actual Jackie Robinson Day so they were allowed to celebrate it on April 16, 2013.
