At-Game Recap: Jackie Robinson Day

The choir from Magic Johnson's home church, West Angeles Church of God In Christ, performs the national anthem.


The Bison and Han Solo share a laugh.


Harrison Ford hugs Sharon Robinson, Jackie's daughter.


Rachel Robinson is introduced to a standing ovation as Magic Johnson, Sharon, Don Newcombe and two of Roy Campanella's children look on.


Take a bow, Rachel.


Magic, ever the facilitator.


Ford gets ready to throw the first pitch.


Acknowledging his catcher, Don Mattingly.


Ford engages Tommy.


Kareem Abdul-Jabbar after announcing "It's Time for Dodger Baseball!" When was the last time he smiled like that?


This...this thing should be a felony.


Attention scoreboard operator: Gotta space out those first three Ks. Please.

Great, it's now Klan night at the Stadium. On Jackie Robinson Day, no less.

Well done, scoreboard operator.

I did think it was weird that they were giving out white-hooded bobbleheads last night.

Thanks for posting the photos.
