They're making a movie about Jackie Robinson called "42." Here is the IMDB entry on it. Biggest name in it is Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey. Jackie is played by a relative unknown named Chadwick Boseman.
I have it on good authority that Johnny Sain, the Boston Braves pitcher who faces Jackie in his major league debut, is portrayed by Barry Fowler, current Sioux Falls Pheasants pitcher. It's a non-speaking part, so he's probably not going to be listed in the credits, but it'll still be fun to go to a movie and say, "Hey, I know that guy!"![]()
