A Scene That I Love: Jackie Robinson Hits A Homerun in 42


I nearly shared the “there’s no crying in baseball” scene from A League Of Their Own as a reminder to myself not to cry, no matter what the Rangers’s final record is.

But then I decided that I would rather share this scene from 42, in which Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) takes his team to the World Series!  Forget about Black Panther and Da 5 Bloods.  This was Boseman’s greatest performance.

Two months ago, Lisa reviewed The Pride of the Yankees.  Two days ago, Gary reviewed Take Me Out To The Ballgame.  Erin just explained to me why the Orioles are going to lose this season and the Rangers are going to win.  Opening Day is almost here.

These 4 shots from 4 films are dedicated to baseball lovers everywhere.
