Mookie Betts and his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates were joined by the Colorado Rockies in visiting Jackie Robinson's statue at Dodger Stadium on the 78th anniversary of the infielder breaking baseball's color barrier.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will celebrate Jackie Robinson Day on the 78th anniversary of when he broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.

MLB officially retired Robinson's No. 42 jersey across the sport in 1997 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his big league debut. Griffey was given permission to don the number for the Seattle Mariners, flipping from his usual No. 24, for a game against Cleveland on April 15, 1997.
