Jackie Robinson Day came and went Tuesday , with the same fanfare it always comes with.

Robinson 's heroic legacy of breaking MLB ’s color barrier has been lauded for decades .

Last month , the Defense Department took down Robinson 's bio before reinstating it.

MLB 's press release about the day didn’t contain the word Black.

“When you read about him and you learn about him, you learn that his character was probably just as great as his game as a player. That says a lot when you have to endure so much and have to take so much criticism and hatred towards you, but still keep the same character “It’s a great legacy for what he stood for and how he stood up for it.”.
