Episode 103: 42 and The Jackie Robinson Story
Let’s play two! Today on Play Ball: Baseball at the Movies, it’s a Jackie Robinson double header. We discuss 42, starring Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson, and 1950’s The Jackie Robinson Story starring Jackie Robinson as himself. After walking through the plots of both movies (06:04) we’re joined by special guest Dr. Raymond Doswell, Vice President of Curatorial Services at the Negro Leagues Museum (14:28) for a wide-ranging interview on the legacy of Jackie Robinson and the Negro Leagues. We discuss the state of the Negro Leagues in the years leading up to integration, why Jackie was the perfect candidate to break the color barrier, Jackie’s activism off the field, and past attempts to bring Jackie’s story to the big screen. After Ray rates both movies (01:08:00), we share some final reflections on the big screen legacy of Jackie Robinson and rate the films ourselves (01:25:23).    Visit the Negro Leagues Museum at 1616 East 18th Street, Kansas City, MO 64108.
