Jackie Robinson Day 2020

Four and a half months after we were originally supposed to celebrate, MLB is finally honoring Jack Roosevelt Robinson with the 24th annual Jackie Robinson Day.





Because of the short season, MLB decided to hold Jackie Robinson Day on the 75th Anniversary of the Brooklyn Dodgers signing the future HOFer. 

👀👀 With all the racial unrest going on in America, all the Black players have decided to donate today's paychecks. 



Now, unfortunately, I don't own any 1950s era baseball cards of Jackie Robinson, but I do have two awesome cards of the Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer.

I was skeptical at first on the Project 2020 set, but the more that came out, the better, it seemed, the cards got, and I simply couldn't pass on this awesome card of  Jackie.




Topps BUNT  also gives it's users a FREE card of Jackie Robinson each year.

This year we received this card of Jackie.


I really think I should've been born earlier in time, because, well, I would've been able to watch Jackie and the old Brooklyn Dodgers.

    These are two of my favorites. Gotta say that Bunt card is pretty cool It'd be even cooler if Topps prints that card for Update or something.
