42

On April 15th, Major League Baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day, in honor of the man who broke down racial barriers by becoming the first black player in the MLB. A few years ago, a movie named after Jackie's jersey number -- 42 -- was released to an extremely positive critical response. How much of the story was true and what was missing from the movie? We'll find out in this week's episode about the movie 42. Did you enjoy this episode?
