42 - The biopic about Jackie Robinson opened Friday. Make no mistake; this is not a baseball movie. It is a movie about America and some of our darkest days and in particular one of our greatest days. The day Jackie was allowed to step on a field in "white" baseball was truly a landmark day for America. Baseball is a microcosm of the American way of life, both the good and bad. Now if they would only honor Roberto Clemente in the same manner for his contributions . Go see this movie. You'll cringe, laugh and tear up and there are not many movies that can make that happen. I give it four Floyds.
