MLB is celebrating Jackie Robinson Day on Friday during a week in which three games were postponed Wednesday and seven on Thursday as players reacted to the weekend shooting by police of Jacob Blake.

Before leaving, Lewis Brinson draped a Black Lives Matter T-shirt over home plate.

"It needs to be an ongoing thing," Brinson said. "We can't just have one day out of the baseball year that we bring light to everything. It needs to be Jackie Robinson Day. It needs to be the day after, the day before. I need to do a better job of trying to get into the community, and into the inner cities, and young Black kids around Miami and around the United States to know that you have my support, and I'm someone you can look up to."
