The New York Mets and Miami Marlins made a powerful statement Thursday night.

The two teams were set to play at Citi Field, but were one of a handful of games that were postponed in order to help bring awareness to social injustice.

The two teams took it a step further by walking onto Citi Field, observing a 42-second moment of silence in honor of Jackie Robinson before leaving a black T-Shirt that read "Black Lives Matter" at home plate. The league is scheduled to honor Robinson on Friday.

Well done.
