Remembering Jackie
For a variety of reasons, the Mets have always had an association with Jackie Robinson, the first African-American player in the major leagues. Keeping in touch with that connection, the rotunda is named for the former Brooklyn Dodger. Quotations line the circular walls of the hall, and Robinson's nine values are engraved into the stone floor. A giant "42," his number, stands in the back of the rotunda. There also are two (Sharp) large-screen televisions that will only play clips of Robinson's achievements with no advertising at all.
