To honor the memory of the late Jackie Robinson, every major leaguer will be sporting the jersey #42 during tonight’s games. On top of that, a select few Nike-sponsored ballplayers will be wearing a special edition of the Ken Griffey, Jr. signature “Swingman” cleat with Jackie’s silhouette lasered on the side and number ‘42′ stitched on the back. The All-Star shortstop for the Phillies will be one of them.
Have a look:

Other players to wear the cleat include: Ken Griffey, Jr. (obvs), Torii Hunter, Carl Crawford, Ryan Braun, Orlando Hudson, Curtis Granderson, Cameron Maybin, Adam Jones, Billy Hall, Derrek Lee, and David Wright.

I just know if Jackie were alive to see this day, he would say:
“Fuck David Wright!”

Wright’s just wearin’ them because Carlos Beltran said the blue “really brings out his eyes.”
