Jackie Robinson Day highlights Braves' homestand

Apr. 20—The Atlanta Braves will be hosting their second homestand of the year, welcoming the Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs for a pair of three-game series beginning Monday.

There will be many activities and giveaways throughout the stretch, including the celebration of Jackie Robinson Day.

On Friday, the Braves will celebrate Robinson, the former Brooklyn Dodgers' infielder who broke the color barrier in 1947, by giving out a figuring of Robinson sliding for the first 15,000 fans.

On Saturday, the Braves will present a championship ring to 2021 World Series MVP Jorge Soler, who signed with the Marlins as a free agent during the offseason.
