Yesterday, Wendy Greuel joined Magic Johnson and participated in Jackie Robinson Day activities at Dodger Stadium to commemorate the Brooklyn Dodgers legend who broke Major League Baseball's color barrier.

Jackie Robinson became the first African-American to play in the major leagues on Opening Day in 1947 -- which occurred on April 15th of that year.

His debut ended eighty years of segregation in baseball, and Robinson’s character, talent, and production on the ballfield challenged traditional notions of time and contributed significantly to the Civil Rights Movement.

During the Monday night's activities, Wendy and Magic mingled with Dodgers fans and participated in a charity raffle.

Prior to the game, a moment of silence was observed by players and fans for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
