For the first time in franchise history, the entire St. Louis roster will be wearing Robinson's No. 42 when the Cardinals host the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, April 15.
"We just heard today that that was possible to do, so we checked with the players and they all wanted to do it," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said on Friday. "I guess that sends a message about how this club feels about what he went through [and the] opportunities he's provided for others."

Am I the only one out there who thinks this is, like, really, really retarded?
When I read about Griffey wearing #42, I thought, "what a cool gesture." But then the idiot Cardinals have to do some kind of one upmanship (uhh, 24-upmanship) and all wear #42?
There's a difference between a subtle and touching honor, and stupid "look at me" behavior.
