April World Holidays
Jackie Robinson Day
(Click link for more information)
“Jackie Robinson Day takes place on April 15, 2019. Jackie Robinson Day is a traditional event which occurs annually in Major League Baseball, commemorating and honoring the day Jackie Robinson made his major league debut.
Initiated for the first time on April 15, 2004, Jackie Robinson Day is celebrated each year on that day. The festivity is a result of Robinson’s memorable career, best known for becoming the first black major league baseball player of the modern era in 1947.

Jackie Robinson Day
This past November 2018 I took part in the Nibvember 2018 Challenge. Day 27 prompt was Lettering and I came up with the design below. It’s easy to see where my inspiration came from as I’d participated in the A to Z Challenge in 2016. So, feeling the call to try once again for A To Z Challenge 2019, I decided to sign up for this years using this design as my inspiration.

April World Holidays from A to Z

On Jackie Robinson day, all the players wear #42 (that was his number). Don’t know if the Dodgers do anything differently, because he played for them.
