Halfway through the game on that memorable day baseball commissioner Bud Selig alongside Rachel Robinson addressed the crowd announcing that Robinson's number - 42 - would be forever retired by Major League Baseball. Former President Bill Clinton also addressed the crowd stating "(Robinson) scored the go-ahead run that first day in the major leagues and we've been trying to catch up with him ever since."
