TV Answer Man, it’s Jackie Robinson day in baseball today! Do you know where we can watch the movie, 42, which is a great movie about Jackie! — Jamal, Sacramento, California.

Jamal, today is Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball, a day when all players will wear Jackie’s number 42 to celebrate his first day in MLB (April 15, 1947) when he broke the color barrier playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers. And so it’s a great day to watch 42, the 2013 drama starring Chadwick Boseman as the man himself. Harrison Ford plays Branch Rickey, the Dodgers general manager who signed Robinson.
