Jackie Robinson Day – Why MLB The Show Gets It Right Every Year
Let’s give credit where it’s due—MLB The Show has consistently treated Jackie Robinson Day with the respect it deserves. Every year, they roll out something meaningful. Whether it’s a player mlb the show stubsprogram, themed equipment, or custom commentary lines, the game creates a space for remembrance.
In The Show 25, they went the extra mile. The in-game stadiums have tributes on the jumbotrons, the number 42 is front and center, and every player wears it during the game—it’s a visual reminder that history matters.
In a time when many games are microtransaction-first and heart-second, it’s refreshing to see developers put genuine care into honoring the legacy of someone like Jackie Robinson.
I hope younger players who maybe don’t know the full story take a moment to look it up. He was more than a ballplayer. He was an icon, a soldier, a civil rights advocate, and a legend.
It’s great seeing the community come together around this. Let's keep his story alive—not just on April 15, but every time we load up the game.
