Published 4/15/2008 by Brittany Ghiroli at Major League Baseball News
Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera wore No. 42 on Tuesday night, just as he has done every game since signing debuting with New York in 1995. But he was hardly the only player wearing No. 42, as the entire Rays team and a number of Yankees donned the jersey in honor of Jackie Robinson Day.
