who wore #42?

[west coast orange and black]

yesterday, players were allowed to wear #42 to honor jackie robinson.

the giants players, recognizing that one person can make a difference, voted to have one player wear #42. ray durham has clubhouse seniority, so he was voted to honor robinson with #42.

so, who wore #42 yesterday?

I believe that Mark Kotsay was the only Brave who wore #42 yesterday.

At the moment I can't seem to find the Astros, Phillies or Twins players that donned 42 for yesterdays games.

[runningshoes]

Twins: Matt Guerrier, Livan Hernandez, Craig Monroe, Denar Span, Delmon Young and first base coach Jerry White.

I'm all for the Jackie Robinson love, but ESPN was just ridiculous last night. About halfway through BBTN, I was thinking that I was going to shoot myself if I heard "42" or "Jackie Robinson" again.

Every player in yesterday's Nats-Mets game wore #42.

:disbelief: This confuses me.

Please, only one use of any given player number, per team. Thank you.

you would have hated watching baseball before 1930.

In fact, you didn't even have to be a ballplayer, since the blind NY Governor, David Paterson also wore one when he threw out the first pitch.

only one use of any given player number, per team.

Why? They were honoring an icon. There was nothing wrong with BOTH teams wearing the #.

Why would more than one player wearing #42 be confusing to you? It was done with the blessing of Rachel Robinson, and since it very much honors the American legend known as Jackie Robinson, I can't think of a kinder way of honoring the great man.
