Nationals to wear Montreal Expos throwback jerseys against the Royals
History: On April 18, 1946, Jackie Robinson––wearing this shirt––stepped onto the field for the Montreal Royals at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ, against the Jersey City Giants and became the first player in modern history to break Organized Baseball's unwritten color line. Robinson (#9) went on to lead the International League in batting average and fielding percentage, and was promoted to Brooklyn the following season.
