Every April 15, Major League Baseball touts the legacy of Jackie Robinson and the game’s role in changing the face of sports in America.

Baseball was the last major sports league in America to react to the death of George Floyd.

Only four players who appeared in the All-Star Game last July in Cleveland were African-American (Josh Bell for the NL, Michael Brantley, Mookie Betts, and Marcus Stroman for the AL).

This past week it was those stars the game does have, along with other players, who showed themselves to be more proactive than the league and its owners in rising to the moment.

Stanton, one of the game’s most visible African-American players, shared a video on social media.
