The entire Cardinals team donned No. 42 jerseys in honor of Robinson, wearing the number that has been retired across baseball for one of the game's greatest figures. For the visiting Brewers, Prince Fielder was designated as the lone wearer of No. 42.

I'm watching the Brewers/Cardinal game and realize everyone is wearing # 42...then I realize why. lol

Just thought that was pretty cool. :)

Okay..so you beat me to it. LOL
I didn't realize it until I was watching the game. At first I saw Fielder wearing 42..and then it dawned on me everyone was wearing 42..haha.
Nice thing to do, Kudos to the Texas Rangers as well!

Uh.. what? This article is over a year old. The Cardinals haven't been World Champions in quite a while.

As former Cardinal outfielder Vince Coleman once said so proudly......."I don't know no Jackie Robinson".
