  1. Acceptance of gay players will be an issue in 'jungle' of male locker room

    Jason Collins did the right thing. He did the courageous thing. And he should be applauded and accepted for what he did this week. But do not for a second believe that the uniform message of approval flooding in about Collins being the first openly gay...

  4. '42': Jackie Robinson has to share the spotlight with Branch Rickey ★★ 1/2

    &quot;42," writer-director Brian Helgeland's carefully tended portrait of Jackie Robinson, treats its now-mythic Brooklyn Dodger with respect, reverence and love. But who's in there, underneath the mythology? Has the movie made Robinson, a man who endured so much in the name of breaking Major League Baseball's color barrier and then died before his 54th birthday, something less than three-dimensionally human?

  5. How Sam Lacy helped integrate Major League Baseball

    Like most films depicting historic accounts of real-life events, the bio-epic &quot;42" carries the immediate disclaimer that it is based on a true story, leaving room for interpretive analysis and creative license. Consequently, dramatic interpretations are by their nature subject to scrutiny and debate.

  7. Lacy deserved mention in '42'

    Having just seen the wonderful film, &quot;42," the other day, I, too, was struck by the absence of a mention of the Baltimore Afro-American's Sam Lacy in the sports reporting of such a momentous time in baseball, America's and civil rights history. Your article, "Sam Lacy's son upset by father's absence from '42'" (April 16) reveals Tim Lacy's surprise and hurt by the absence of any mention of his father's name despite all of his reporting as an eyewitness to history with Wendell Smith (the Pittsburgh Courier editor-reporter featured in the movie).

  8. Can '42' spark a rally?

    The image is as symbolic to baseball as Lou Gehrig's farewell speech. In the 1946 photo, George "Shotgun" Shuba extends his hand to teammate Jackie Robinson, who just hit his first home run for a Brooklyn Dodgers farm team. The simple gesture became...

  11. '42' in the Windy City

    When Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers brought their historic roadshow to Chicago a few weeks into the 1947 season, a record crowd of 46,572 people crammed into Wrigley Field, and 20,000 more stood outside wishing they could get in. After the game, fans clambered up the sides of the Dodgers' team bus, hoping for a glimpse of the man who broke major league baseball's color barrier, a milestone chronicled in the recently released movie &quot;42."
