Across the country Wednesday, professional baseball players will be wearing No. 42 across their backs 鈥� a once-a-year homage to Jackie Robinson.

For Adael Amador, his tribute to the sports and civil rights trailblazer is far more constant.

The Albuquerque Isotopes infielder from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has a large tattoo of Robinson, who broke professional baseball鈥檚 color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947.

鈥淲hen I was 12 years old, my father showed me 鈥� introduced me to the movie,鈥� Amador, through the interpretation of Isotopes Manager Pedro Lopez, told the Journal on Tuesday.

鈥淎fter I saw what Jackie did for everybody 鈥� Latin America, colored people, everybody 鈥� he just became an inspiration to me."

Amador, ranked just two years ago as the No. 1 prospect in the Rockies organization, is still at 23 battling to stick in the big leagues. He was up, then back down, and now on his way back, or so it would seem after hitting .303 with 11 home runs and 59 RBIs in 80 games with the Isotopes last season.

None of the on-field successes or struggles seems to weigh on Amador much when put in perspective of the path Robinson took.

鈥淚 was going through a tough time when I saw that movie,鈥� Amador said, referring to being a teenager in a baseball academy trying to earn a pro contract to help his family at a time his father was out of work and his mother was sick.

鈥淚 used that movie and Jackie Robinson鈥檚 story to kind of get through that.鈥�

Jackie Robinson Day, for Amador, is a way to recognize the reason he鈥檚 able to play professional baseball and make a difference for his family in the Dominican Republic. While Robinson鈥檚 legacy is largely framed as that of an African American pioneer, Amador is quick to point out the doors opened for men like him, too.

鈥淛ust watching him going through the struggles that he did in order to become who he was, that was an inspiration for me and a lot of people in Latin America and all around the world,鈥� Amador said.

Around the ballpark

There will be several Robinson tributes at Isotopes Park on Wednesday night, where Albuquerque's Triple-A franchise appropriately will be playing the Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate, the Oklahoma City Comets.

First, every Isotopes player will have the number 42 on the jersey (good luck to those scoring at home).

The Isotopes will also display more than 400 pieces of artwork 鈥� from writings to sculptures to paintings and more 鈥� from area K-12 students as part of the organization's annual project asking kids to produce art that reflects the legacy of Robinson. They will be on display around the concourse of Rio Grande Credit Union Field.

The team said Armijo Elementary School had 200 submissions.

There will also be a pregame ceremony honoring Lenton Malry with the 2026 Jackie Robinson "Making a Difference" award. Malry is an educator and New Mexico鈥檚 first black congressman.
