In 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first player to break the Major League Baseball color barrier, which barred players of color from entering the league. A true historical pioneer in sports, broadcasting, business and the civil rights movement, Jackie was the first African American to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 after an illustrious professional baseball career in MLB and the Negro leagues.
Jackie represented class, love of the game and, of course, equality. He was a powerful force for positive change, forever changing the landscape of sport and the world. Jackie stood for principles that are more relevant and important today than ever. As Fernando’s cover celebrates the future of the game, we also wanted to pay tribute to the history of baseball and its most powerful forces for positive change. We can’t think of anyone who represents this better, on and off the pitch, than Jackie Robinson.
To celebrate Jackie, PlayStation and San Diego Studio are pleased to announce that PlayStation will donate $ 1 to the Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) Scholarship Program for each MLB The Show 21 Collector’s Edition sold in the United States, including the Jackie Robinson Edition, the Jackie Robinson Deluxe Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition from the opening of pre-orders until December 21, 2021.
Donations will support the MLB The Show-PlayStation Career Pathways in partnership with the Jackie Robinson Foundation, which will support students from under-represented backgrounds with financial assistance to attend higher education institutions. It is important for us to write more than just a check. The partnership with JRF will also include mentoring with PlayStation / SDS employees as well as an internship to gain hands-on experience in the field. We couldn’t be happier to launch this partnership with Jackie’s family and the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
The Jackie Robinson Foundation has been closing the achievement gap in higher education for 47 years. JRF’s holistic approach has a measurable impact on the lives of young people destined to become powerful leaders. You can learn more about the Jackie Robinson Foundation here. For anyone interested in applying to MLB The Show – PlayStation Career Pathways program in partnership with the Jackie Robinson Foundation, stay tuned to the official PlayStation and MLB The Show channels in November 2021 for more information.
