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.
