The first African American baseball player to play in mlb was Jackie Robinson who wore #42. That # has now been retired by mlb.
So Jackie Robinson paved the way for subsequent African Americans to play the game, including Vanessa.
It's cool that she chooses that # to play tribute to, and honor Jackie Robinson.
