Retiring the number 42 throughout baseball but making all of the players wear it on Jackie Robinson Day is a STUPID idea. Jackie himself would not have approved.
It sure is.
Agreed. Jackie didn't wear any professional baseball uniform other than that of the Dodgers (with the exception of the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro League and the Montreal Royals of the International League, both of which were long extinct by that time). By the time the crooked leftist Commissioner Selig dictated that Robinson's number 42 should be retired by all MLB, the Dodgers had done the honor decades before.
This retirement of Robinson's number by teams he never played for - nor in some instances never even opposed - turns history on its head (which leftists love to do, in case you haven't noticed). Plus, the fans watching the games on Robinson Day have to put up with the spectacle of not being able to identify the players on the field by their numbers.
