MLB stars are pulling out custom cleats for Jackie Robinson Day and they’re so awesome

These are TORCH.

Jackie Robinson Day is one of the best days of the Major League Baseball season each and every year.

The league pays homage to an absolute icon in Robinson who quite literally changed the trajectory of the sport just by being the first African American to play Major League Baseball.

Simply put, the game isn’t what it is today without Robinson’s contribution and the sacrifices he made. It is undoubtedly something that should be honored.

How? With custom cleats. Lots of MLB players across the league are wearing Jackie Robinson cleats today. Here are some of the best ones we’ve seen so far.
