So inspired by Jackie and what he did for the African-American community, I played softball in my undergraduate career. I am happy that 42 is being met with nice critical reception and commercial success and the actors did a superb job. I only wish the film were a bit longer so as to focus on Jackie's childhood, career at UCLA and time in the military, where he proved himself brave in the face of discrimination. Nonetheless, I will certainly see 42 again before it leaves theaters and will support the DVD/Blu-Ray release. Boseman, Beharie and Ford are near dead ringers for their characters and, in the case of the Boseman and Beharie, it is encouraging to see young, black talent on the rise. Thank you, Mr. Robinson. God Bless & RIP.
