Well, now MLB is putting the number back into circulation again. Players will once again have the opportunity to wear No. 42 on Jackie Robinson Day. I have one question: Why?
Seeing it being worn last year was a beautiful thing. (It would have been even more beautiful if more white players had worn it.) However, doing it again this year only waters down the whole idea. I can understand wearing it on a milestone anniversary like the 60th. But, doing it again a year later borders on travesty as far as I'm concerned.
Wait until the 70th anniversary to wear No. 42 again. Do it every 10 years, not every year.
