- INFO: Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson (January 31, 1919 -- October 24, 1972) was an American baseball player who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the modern era.
42 is a 2013 American biographical sports film written and directed by Brian Helgeland about the life of baseball player Jackie Robinson, who wore jersey number 42. The film stars Chadwick Boseman as Robinson,[3] and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey. Christopher Meloni, John C. McGinley, Lucas Black, and Nicole Beharie appear in supporting roles.
TRANSCRIPT
Branch, it's Herb.
Herb. What can I do for you?
Branch,
how long have we known each other?
Oh, 20 years, maybe more.
That's right.
Been over some solid road together.
So, um, you can trust me when I tell you
Brooklyn's due here tomorrow...
...but you cannot bring
that nigger down here...
...with the rest of your team.
Why's that, Herb?
His name is Jackie Robinson,
by the way.
Yeah, Branch,
I understand he's got a name...
...but we're just not ready for that sort
of thing here in Philadelphia.
We're not gonna be able to take the field
against your team if that boy's in uniform.
Well, what you do with your team
is your decision, Herb.
But my team's gonna be
in Philadelphia tomorrow...
...with Robinson.
And if we have to claim the game
as a forfeit, so be it.
That's 9-0...
...in case you forgot.
You've had a hell of a hair across your ass
over this for a long time.
I'd like to know
what it is you're trying to prove.
You think God likes baseball, Herb?
What...? What the hell
is that supposed to mean?
It means someday
you're gonna meet God...
...and when he inquires
as why you didn't take the field...
...against Robinson in Philadelphia...
...and you answer
that it's because he was a Negro...
...it may not be a sufficient reply! - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
now THAT is how a Christian should respond to anything even remotely racist. LOVE IT.
@Mister Guy
Yup, the same god that not only condones slavery but outlines how to do it "correctly".
curious to the demographics of your neighborhood
@Mister Guy What are you talking about?
@Mister Guy Its clear you never read the bible in it's entirety or even paid attention.
God's Chosen were set to a much more difficult task. To be a light of God's love and integrity in the world to the other nations.
They ended up failing. Which is why we needed a messiah. Jesus.
As for the Biblical Slavery Argument, it was by no means what we would describe as "slavery" today or even a few hundred years ago.
If you lost all your money and gambled it all away or something devastated you financially, you are able to provide your service and do manual labor or whatever was agreed until the debt was paid.
Like in Genesis when Jacob worked the land for 7 years to marry Rachel.
The bibles rules to slavery were there to protect slaves from being taken advantage of. You were supposed to treat your slave as a member of your family. And treat them with respect. The bible also has characters like Abraham who take advantage of their slaves, like Hagar. But it certainly doesnt condone bad behavior. It shows the consequences of his foolish actions and God then tests Abraham for his transgressions.
@@redpilledtrooper7523 You are either sorely misinformed about what the Bible says or you're completely full of shit, but either way is irrelevant. Go read Exodus 21 and then come tell the class how the Bible doesn't specifically outline how you can legally own another human being.
Yup, the biggest mystery to me is how people in the Christian world ever thought racism was ever justified under God. Love your neighbor as yourself...who is your neighbor...everybody.
Im still trying to figure out how Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are reverends. Maybe you could explain that one to me.................
Lol, he referenced standing in front of God when justifying racism. I took it further where many "religious" southerners in the USA were super racist yet still believing in God's word. I then quoted where the Bible basically says every one should be loved and treated as you would be treated.
Read and think before you type.
ProjecthuntanFish that's your response lol. 👌
Follow the money.
ProjecthuntanFish We all know that there are also light skinned reverend politicians of questionable standing.
"it may not be a sufficient reply"..... love that line
Amen! I wish more people had his attitude back in the day!
Harrison Ford does the accent perfectly. That's exactly how people sounded in the 1940's. I rarely hear anyone sound like that anymore.
That was 78 years ago. How old are you?
apparently 90+ lmao
I really wish that Ford would take more character actor type roles like this instead of only doing lead roles, he's really an underrated actor.
Damn how old are you?
Accent?
Im not a religious person. but Ford fucking kills that scene.
Harrison Ford is badass in everything, especially Blade Runner
@@roybatty4578 Agreed.
He was amazing in the whole movie.
I love this clip, especially when Branch says "His name is Jackie Robinson, by the way." Little lines like that peppered through the movie just show that while it was smart of Branch to bring in a black player for his talent, and to increase spending by African-American fans, he really did it because he thought segregating the game was horseshit.
Isnt it wonderful how karma works? Years later, how do we remember these ppl from the past? The ones who stuck up for Jackie have their reputations intact if not exonerated. The idiots who were racist in public media are now nothing, only remembered for their ill-will towards a whole race. No one cares they played major league baseball...they have tarnished their reputations as racist losers and will always be remembered as such. Gotta say, Karma; i love that bitch to death 🤗
@@ViceKnIghtTA Whats even more sad is the fact that no one but 1 player apologized . That very same dude was Ben Chapman. He realized his mistakes way too late but admitted that he did do wrong but cuz of that he raised his children differently (theyre still currently alive)
@@TheLegend-cy1yqIt’s called whitewashing & there’s no apology. 1st successful football forward pass in college was done by the Carlisle Indian school in 1907. NCAA won’t recognize that moment.
@@tringuyen7519 That's because Carlisle did not have the first successful college forward pass. Bradbury Robinson of St Louis University is credited with the first successful forward pass in college on September 5, 1906. It was the opening game of the first season where a forward pass was legal. There had even been some successful passes before it was legalized that refs let stand.
Carlisle was the first team that really showed that the forward pass could be an integral part of your offense and be successful. They were utterly dominant in the 1907 season when they heavily featured the passing game in their offense. And they did it at a time when incompletions were penalized. Jim Thorpe was the team's most famous player and has the award for best DB in college named after him.
You know when you hear the line, "How long have we known each other?" It's going to be followed up with some BS request.
Yup, it's the 50+-year-old's way of saying, "Hey, I did a bunch of stuff for you, now it's time for you to repay me".
" _It may not be a sufficient reply._ "
"we're just not ready for that sort of thing here in Philadelphia."
No, YOU are just not ready for that sort of thing.
@Starscream91 yeah that's true
Lol there are blacks in Philadelphia still aren’t ready for white people to step foot in their neighborhood so maybe he knew Philadelphia better than you did
And the Phillies were last to integrate in the NL.
@Mister Guy well excuse me for being called a racial slur as a person who had nothing to do with this, first person ever to call me a chink in my life was a black/Latin person. Makes ya think doesn't it?
@Mister Guy "oh we got abused, so we get to have payback and then some" fuck this horseshit man, why can't everybody just be nice to each other? You are completely missing the point.
“Name’s Jackie Robinson, by the way.” Calmly reminding Herb Jackie’s a person like everyone else on the team.
Fords performance in 42 was oscar worthy. He is an awesome actor.
Harrison should have been nominated and won the Academy Award for best male supporting role that year with a performance like this.
Christophe Waltz won that year. Ford is good, but he's not THAT good.
@@kbanghart Ah OK. That is very difficult to beat. In a different year maybe. Harrison should receive a lifetime achievement Academy Award soon though.
@@Beginstheman Yes he absolutely should win lifetime achievement ASAP, I definitely agree with that.
@@kbanghart He shouldn't have won, but at least been nominated.
@@kbanghart l disagree with that response.
Rip. Chadwick Roseman 🙏🏻
Don't know if this scene is true, but if it is I would've loved to meet the dodgers owner, sounded like he was a great man.

He was actually the manager
@@evas8583 Branch Rickey was the General Manager, but I believe that he actually was a minority owner in the team at the time so the thread starter wasn't completely wrong.
Jackie Robinson never ceased to praise Branch Rickey when he was interviewed. He seemed to have the highest respect for him.
@@joemckim1183 Most people only know Rickey as the man who brought Jackie Robinson into major league baseball, but he was far more important than just that one great deed, good as it was.. Although General manager he held a 25% share in the Dodgers with 3 others who held 25% each, so was actually a full partner. Rickey owned or Co owned several smaller franchises and was the architect of the farm system, and the spring break for players. He brought in Helmets for the players, pitching machines, batting cages and far more.. He was a professional baseball player (catcher) for 8 years and professional football player with the Shelby blues. In those days they were in a league equivalent to today's NFL. He was also a WW1 veteran reaching the rank of Major, and Ty Cobb was under his command.. Rickey was a very interesting guy in his own right, was chairman of the pittsburgh pirates years later too, and he could easily have a movie made of his life. He was inducted into the baseball Hall of fame 2 years after he died in his early 80's ( born around 1880 I think)
I remembered being 12 years old and my entire grade classsmates went to AMC to see this and we all clapped after this scene
That happened
I get the feeling God’s anger will be like Harrison Ford’s voice. …That’s enough to convince me to turn my ways, lol.
In my views gods has a couple of different tones for me
Morgan freemans calm narrative tone
Harrison fords serious and loud discipline
Anthony Hopkins regal and royal leadership
@@ArkhamKnight-uj6ww lol you would be my new friend. Well said 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've seen God played by George Burns, Morgan Freeman, and, in the last episode of Murphy Brown, Alan King. Harrison Ford would do all right in the role.
That was great when Branch Ricky explained about God and he's right God loves all people no matter what their color I wonder what that guy thought after the phone conversation.
Well he did make Chapman apologize to 42
And less than a year later, Herb Pennock met God. January 1948
Branch Rickey wasn't just a ground breaker on the desegregation front. He also may have been the most forward thinking man in sports history. He basically created the farm system. Which both baseball and basketball use extensively nowadays . He created many of the modern drills that baseball uses today, revolutionized spring training through the use of batting cages, pitching machines and batting helmets. He also had an eye for talent that was second to none. When he saw Stan Musial play because he was a HOFer. Branch Rickey even got the ball rolling on statistical analysis. It's sad that baseball is basically a dying sport... because from it's history comes titans like Rickey who basically helped for modern sports entertainment.
Wendell Smith had a knack for bringing in colored players to the Major Leagues as well.
You had me until you said it was a dying sport then you made it clear you are a complete weirdo.
@@aznpikachu215 it is okay to call the players black or African American you do not have to use the racist term that was used in that day. Wow what a weirdo.
Baseball is doing just fine. It’s not as popular as it once was with some people but watch the World Baseball Classic and you’ll see there are plenty of fans
In America it may not be America's past time, but its still a popular sport. Take Japan for example, Baseball is its most successful national sport right above Sumo.
I'm from Philadelphia and I'm ashamed that it was like this. Preach it, Harrison Ford!!
Unfortunately a lot of cities were like this back then even if they weren't in the deep south. They might not have been doing lynchings like in the south but they still had a long way to go.
I thought It was different Back then In the Northern states
There’s racism everywhere not just the south I’m a black man from the south and I have to say when ive been in cities like Philadelphia or Boston the people there people were more openly racist whereas in the south it’s more hidden in a lot of places a good example would be the time I stopped at a store near my house and when I went in they looked at me like I shouldn’t be in there but they were still polite when I was checking out
The owners and coaches of the Phillies from this era were not Philadelphians. Mostly southerners. But yes, racism exists in all states.
@@joshuagreenslade3445 nope. Some of the worst segregation took place in New England. There weren't the lynchings and other things that Black Americans had to deal with in the south, but the north was just as racist. Boston, for instance, didn't desegregate its buses until 1974, and only then by court order.
Love this scene! I'm old, but even I don't remember this transitional period in American sports, where segregation was a hurdle to putting the best team on the field. Good for the filmmakers, for reminding us of the struggle. It makes you think, about how much we all would have missed...if Michael Jordan never got to play in the NBA, and Muhammad Ali never got to fight for the Heavyweight Championship, and so on.
Harrison Ford should’ve been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for this role.
He should have been nominated for this _scene._
I can't believe someone gave this a down vote.
gof22 must've been a KKK member or ex-nazi.
gof22 Maybe it's some of Herbs ancestors!
Descendants.
Jake Russell well to be fair, a kkk member, nazi, racist descendants and trump supporter are all the same
@Chef...I'll clean it up for you:----Jake Russell well to be fair, a kkk member, nazi, racist descendants and SOME trump supporters are all the same...there!
"IT MAY NOT BE A SUFFICIENT REPLY" LOL
This definitely demonstrated Harrison Ford's talent.
How Harrison Ford was not at least nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in this movie is beyond me. I thought he should of got an academy award nomination. This Scene alone showed how great he was in this movie.
Baseball movies tend not to get nominated for awards.
I love Branch Rickey's statement, about playing in Philadelphia.
No matter if Harrison Ford is Han Solo or Indiana Jones or Blade Runner or any other character he’s incredible actor that plays a terrific role
I respect him 100%
My grandfather played baseball and he said Branch Rickey was a great man
Rickey was one of the Greatest and Earliest Pro Integration Activists out there. He actually befriended and ministered to a Black Outfielder named Charlie Thomas when they were both attending Ohio University back in the Early 1900s. Thomas actually broke down and wept bitterly one night after he had been refused a Hotel room In South Bend,Indiana back in 1902. Rickey generously talked the Front Desk Manager into putting a Cot for Thomas in his room. Charlie sobbed saying “Black Skin! Black Skin! Why did God create me with Black skin? He made a mistake!”. Rickey consoled him and then exclaimed “God don’t make mistakes Charlie. You ain’t no mistake. He created all races in his own image and Colored people are no exception to the rule. Come on Charlie! Cheer Up! Snap Out of it! We’ll beat this segregation someday. But we can’t if you feel sorry for yourself. Be strong! God knows and sees your misery.”
This is my favourite scene in *"42".*
Ford should've got an Oscar for this!
Harrison Ford, the man I was named after. God if I didn't love him before I do now.
That just made me smile . Great scene and great response.
Harrison Ford's Best Performance!!!
You ever heard of Indiana Jones? Star Wars? Blade Runner? Air Force 1?
So they are automatically better? Pft. I love Star Wars and Han Solo, doesn't mean that it's necessarily his best performance even if they are my favourite Ford movies. It's just a matter of taste, I guess. Or it's a matter of rising up to a challenge. Playing Indy wouldn't be a challange for your acting skill, more of a challange for your muscles, no? 42 and K-19 I think are the best of his movies after the year 2000, performance wise.
metalfan 98--In all of those films you just mentioned, you knew it was Harrison Ford playing the part. He's like John Wayne; no matter what the character's name is, he was being John Wayne up there. This is Ford's first role in that he completely disappeared into the character. At the end, you wondered, "Wow, that was Harrison Ford? Wonderful job!"
I remember seeing this in March 2013 and I completely forgot that was Ford as Rickey.
0:23 branches face says it all. He's like "ah shit, here we go again"🤦🏽♂
Ugh! Love this scene. My favorite in the whole movie.
Harrison Ford didn’t just own this role, he devoured this role for breakfast with a side of boss-sauce
That you, God, for giving us Harrison Ford.
I love the last line. It's just too true.
I love that scene
Ford should definitely not be known as just Han Solo or Indiana Jones
I Love that SPEECH .. IT MAY NOT BE A SUFFICIENT REPLY
Ladies and gentlemen
We got him
high key one of the greatest scenes from any movie of all time. I get goddamn chills watching Harrison Ford send that bigot to an early fucking grave with a finger-point so brutal that he for sure felt it through the phone.
This was my favorite scene
Woooooo! I'm not even black, but Ford came with the heat for this scene. Straight up. One of my favorites.
Harrison ford was epic in this film. I actually was looking forward to his scenes more than the rest of the film. Being from Montreal Jackie was really appreciated by the people of Montreal so much so that we have a statue of Jackie outside Olympic stadium.
Great movie!
I love Harrison Ford in that movie. Awesome job.
This was like the homily of our priest in Christ the King Sunday,”you will be judged not by what you look like but how you loved,how you treated your neighbours”
its my favorite moment in the movie
Awesome... We'll all meet him some day!
How is that possible, since it doesn't exist?
The Sumerians are generally credited with creating the first form of writing, nearly 6,500 years ago. And since that time, historians and scholars have catalogued over 3,500 different supernatural beings which can be classified as "gods".
What makes you think that any one of them is any more real than any of the others?
Lancer525 Keep doing your research, you’ll find the Truth if you’re honestly and humbly looking for it. Read the Bible and compare it to other ancient texts. You’ll see why it’s real and the others are not. Look into the site Apologetics Press and go from there.
Mister Guy Go read Apologetics Press. There are responses to all your points I promise.
@@lancer525 jesus christ man get a life.
@@lohi172 That's a load of crap.
Harrison Ford is a legend. I can't believe that in his entire career he only got one Oscar nomination.
Best scene of all time from Harrison Ford
very intimidating to me because it sounds a lot like the way my grandfather sounds when he’s upset.
Also, God is not one to play games like that.
This is one of my favourite moments in this movie :)
For the record, Phillies GM in this clip is Herb Pennock, a former major league pitcher. The only verification we have that this phone call occurred is that Harold Parrott of the Dodgers claimed to be listening on an extension line. Some sources say that isn't possible because extension telephones hadn't been invented yet. (Even so, it would have been possible if some of the phone lines in the Dodger offices were party lines.)
Other sources say that it wasn't Pennock who made the call; it was Phillies owner Bob Carpenter. They also cite examples of Pennock helping black people.
Still another possibility is that call was dramatized for the movie, and that it was made not as a threat but as an alert to Rickey over the likelihood of a strong hostile reaction by the fans and members of the Phillies team, led by Manager Ben Chapman (a die-hard racist Southerner who was forced to eat crow later that year because of his vile taunts and the reaction he received in the press) and some of the more vocal Southern players (including Harry Walker, recently traded from the Cardinals where he was part of an attempted strike because of Robinson).
Whatever the truth, Pennock died of a stroke less than a year later, despite appearing to be in good health, less than two weeks shy of his 54th birthday. Because he was generally well-liked and had a good career, he was voted into Baseball's Hall of Fame later that year despite having received only modest support in previous elections and having borderline statistical qualifications.
I'm not sure when extension lines as such were invented, but they were certainly available by the 50s. But all that it would have taken for someone else to listen in was a switchboard in the building -- in office buildings back then an incoming call often went to the person operating the switchboard, and she (it was usually a "she"), after the caller had said whom he wanted to speak to, would connect the caller to the proper telephone on the switchboard. Switchboard operators could listen in on calls and were notorious for doing so.
@@willscathlocke2512 Interesting points. I will point out that this scene took place in 1947, not the 50s.
One additional thing that I picked up in watching the clip again is where Rickey talks about how someday Pennock has to meet his maker and that if God asks him why he was against Robinson playing in Philadelphia, "because he was a Negro" might not be a suffcient answer: According to Peter Golenbock who interviewed former Baseball Commissioner "Happy" Chandlerr for his book on the Dodgers, "Bums", Chandler gave almost that exact answer as the reason he told Rickey why he was allowing him to bring Robinson to the Dodgers even though the owners had voted 15-1 against Robinson.
Now it is possible that Rickey liked that answer so much, he used it in future conversations. But it is also possible that the writers of the movie came across the quote and wanted to include it, but they found it easier to have Rickey say it than Chandler, similar to how Pee Wee Reese says in the movie that someday they would all be wearing 42, even though in real life it was Gene Hermanski who said it.
@@loissimmons109 Interesting -- thank you.
He makes a good point: The religious have absolutely no right to racism. If they believe that God makes all people equal, then to discriminate by race in ANY way is an affront to God.
Coda Mission have you read the Bible. It’s divided into two sections. One of those sections is almost entirely about God’s frustration with the refusal of one race of people to stop interacting with other races.
Preach it!!
I love this scene. I remember seeing this movie in theaters with my mother and she whooped out loud at this.
That was a big touché
Love every bit of this.
This was a powerful scene and Harrison did such a a good job with this.
Yes you think GOD LIKES BASEBALL. Yes He DOES
I actually laughed when I first watched this scene as it was such an obvious answer to racism.
AMEN!!! 🙏🏻
Harrison was great playing Branch. He took a backseat to Chadwick but still had a GREAT presence in the film. He should have got an Oscar or Golden Globe for supporting actor in this film
The owner who phone to Branch Rickey is Herb Pennock, died in January 1948, between the World Series and the start of the new season. A great lesson of preaching from Rickey, a Methodist from Ohio.
"You think God likes baseball, Herb?" Great line from Harrison Ford!
Yes, God is Methodist, God like Baseball as Baseball is Methodist! Rickey is damn right!
i love this, though on a different topic, the closed captions are actually accurate in this video when you turn them on.

I love Harrison Ford! He was amazing in this movie! ❤️
Sometimes the most powerful scenes are the ones that are most simple and straightforward.
I’ve been on a bumpy road for 30 years that no one seems to fix and when you fix it people threaten you not to
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God. I still like what Branch Rickey said in this scene and throughout the movie.
Jason Carpp there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask an atheist. Nothing discriminatory, but just out of curiosity.

Branch Rickey was an awesome individual

Best scene in the movie 🤘🤘
I still don't get how Harrison Ford wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this.
How does anyone dislike this video...
You can dislike a clip posted on the Tube for a variety of reasons. It's not necessarily against the ideas presented.

Philadelphia...the sports city that just keeps on giving.
Amen. Amen and Amen.
Yes, Harrison Ford should of received an Oscar nomination for his role in this movie Playing Branch Rickey. Absolutely!! Their were great Messages here besides Baseball. As soon as I saw the movie role He played in 42 The true Jackie Robinson Story so different than his previous roles I said this to myself. He was Excellent and nailed him. Branch Rickey would of been proud to see himself portrayed as such a good Man and Leader. He was a Spiritual Man and in his field of Baseball promoting Fair Sportmenship for all Races. His work Changed alot in the field of Baseball and other Sports Competition's that is still used Today. Can you Imagine not having some of the Greatest Sports Players of our Generation not allowed to compete in all of our Sports games because of the color of their skin. That would of been a great Loss to our Country. Jean Mooney
I remember I died laughing in the theater when he said this
🙏🏽 amen
That was awesome
One of Ford's better roles, even though it was a small one. He actually seemed to really have his heart and soul into it.
Captain Han Solo's best speech is correct:
IT MAY NOT BE A SUFFICIENT REPLY!
I had no idea they made a Jackie Robinson movie.
While this was one of the few more recent roles where Ford actually looks like he put in effort, I kind of wish some of these lines were delivered by Lewis Black.
Ahaha, oh god, I can't un-hear it.
*Never saw this picture... I may need to remedy that*
