The ballpark's namesake, Jackie Robinson played a spring training game here in 1946.In 1990, in memory of the first site hosting a racially integrated game in baseball history, the ballpark was renamed 'Jackie Robinson Ballpark.'Baseball legends Stan 'The Man' Musial, Mickey Mantle and Roberto Clemente have also been on Daytona's diamond.
