There are just 42 days until the Seattle Mariners start their 2021 season. 42 was also the number of the great and groundbreaking Jackie Robinson. While Seattle has had a few players wear number 42, Dave Henderson being the most productive one who played for Seattle between 1981 and 1986, no Mariners player will ever wear number 42 again.
