Is it me or does MLB come off like the guy who claims he's not racist because he has a black friend on Jackie Robinson Day?

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against celebrating JR. I just think MLB over does it though. Everyone wears 42. Who is the first minority to play in the NFL? NBA?

I guess baseball feels like it has to because it's not seen as diverse as the other pro sports.
