C.C. Sabathia Honors Jackie Robinson With Sick Cleats

April 15 is Jackie Robinson Day, so every player will be wearing No. 42 in honor of the man who broke MLB‘s color barrier. New York Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia will take the hill against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night, and he will be honoring Robinson in a unique, very cool way.

If Sabathia were an NFL player, he could expect a fine for a uniform violation.

Not to be completely outdone, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig took to Twitter to show off a cool Brooklyn Dodgers jacket to honor Robinson.

That picture, aboard a motor boat, would not look out of place as a high-end clothing ad. Based on that, leaving aside the sentiment of paying homage to Robinson, Puig’s teammates may give him some serious grief.
