On April 15, 1997, President Clinton attended a Mets-Dodgers game in Shea Stadium. He was there to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier.

Part of the run of any pennant is seeing how far your team has come. We know the 2015 roster and lineup changes dramatically from Opening Day.
