We've come full circle: amazing things happen, people tell stories about them, people keep telling stories to remind you they can happen again...and then they happen again, in part because the people responsible grew up on those stories.

The tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman motivated me to check out 42, an elaborate if predictable look at baseball legend Jackie Robinson and his breaking of the color barrier in major league baseball.

As depicted in the film Rickey seemed to understand the difference between having empathy for Robinson and having sympathy, where other characters did not.
