Celebrating Jackie Robinson Day: A Tribute to Courage and Change
-
Today, April 15th, marks Jackie Robinson Day, a day of tribute and reflection on the enduring legacy of a true pioneer in American sports and civil rights. It's a day where baseball fans, players, and communities around the world come together to honor the incredible impact of Jackie Robinson on and off the field.
Jackie Robinson made history on April 15, 1947, when he stepped onto Ebbets Field as the first African American to play in Major League Baseball in the modern era, breaking the sport's color barrier. His debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers not only marked a significant moment in baseball history but also symbolized a monumental step forward in the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States.
Robinson faced immense adversity and discrimination throughout his career, enduring racial slurs, threats, and even violence from fans, opposing players, and sometimes his own teammates. Yet, through his exceptional talent, unwavering determination, and unyielding courage, Robinson persevered, paving the way for future generations of black athletes and inspiring countless individuals to confront injustice with dignity and resolve.
Beyond his contributions to the game of baseball, Jackie Robinson was a passionate advocate for civil rights and social justice. He used his platform to challenge segregation and inequality, becoming a prominent figure in the fight for racial integration and equality in America. His legacy extends far beyond the confines of the baseball diamond, serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who strive for a more just and inclusive society.
As we commemorate Jackie Robinson Day, let us not only celebrate his remarkable achievements but also reaffirm our commitment to the principles of equality, diversity, and respect that he embodied. Let us honor his memory by continuing to work towards a future where every individual, regardless of race or background, has the opportunity to pursue their dreams and thrive without fear of discrimination or prejudice.
Today, and every day, let us remember Jackie Robinson's courage, resilience, and enduring legacy, and let us strive to emulate his spirit of perseverance and determination in our own lives. Happy Jackie Robinson Day!

Dont even care about the card, its probably an 89 anyway. i just hope its an actual program and not the single moment [censored] we got last year.
Get a hit....heres a free card.

Still a big miss by SDS to not do anything for the 50th anniversary of Hank breaking Babe's record.
I mean, wtf. Live content? Dead content.
Guess they didn't feel comfortable monetizing it with a pack, so they just blew it off.

So it's a 93 ovr. Jackie Robinson and 3 other cards 90-92, all season 1,a barrier breakers pack, and a conquest map.

I have not seen any of the above info.
And Just FYI, they are also releasing possibly the only pack worth purchasing, The Jackie Robinson with 100% of the price going to the JR Foundation.

I doubt that the JRF has any use for stubs.

Cool. I'm torn about going through SDS to donate to the JRF. I might just do it separately. Really not a fan of SDS this year.

Careful. These forums are no place for negativity against SDS. The fanboys will eat you alive. 🤪

I'm on the Mt. Rushmore of posters firebombing SDS this year. I might even be the George Washington. I couldn't care less about people who don't like it. My criticisms are always valid and purely about the state of the game, business practices, and communication.

Haha, to be fair I made the post before they released the info. I think the program looks like a win.
-
Probably can't use them with the Rube captain boost, right?
-
Program is a win just because you get the barrier breakers pack in it
