Jackie Robinson will be on the front of the MLB The Show 21 Collector’s Editions.
The extraordinary Jackie Robinson Edition of the game will feature a black-and-white photograph of Robinson on the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers, with just the Dodgers blue of his uniform colorized.

Preorders of the Jackie Robinson Edition incorporate four days of early admittance to the game beginning on April 16 – the day after MLB’s yearly festival of Jackie Robinson Day.
With the donations from the MLB The Show 21 Collector’s Editions, the Jackie Robinson Foundation – which was made by Robinson’s better half Rachel in 1973 – will set up the JRF MLB The Show Scholars program in partnership with PlayStation.
