Hero is a word we hear often in sports, however heroism is not always about accomplishments on the field of play. “42” informs the story of two men—the great Jackie Robinson and trailblazing Brooklyn Dodgers GM Part Rickey—whose brave stand towards prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game associated with baseball.

In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the group, breaking Major League Baseball’utes infamous color line. However the deal also put each Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the media and even other players. Going through blatant racism from every side, Robinson was forced to display tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting within kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey’s hopes. Instead, Amount 42 let his skill on the field do the talking—ultimately profitable over fans and his teammates, silencing his / her critics, and paving the way for others to follow.

In 1997, Baseball retired the number 42 for many teams, making it the first amount in sports to be generally retired. The only exception is actually April 15th—Jackie Robinson Day—commemorating the actual date of his very first game as a Brooklyn Dodger. On that day on your own, players from every team with pride wear Number 42 in order to honor the man who modified the course of history.
