Q&A: Chadwick Boseman On Jackie Robinson and 42 7


Chadwick BosemanJackie Robinson famously broke baseball's color barrier when he made his major league debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. But it was not an easy journey for the future Hall of Famer. The new movie 42 (which opens on April 12) tells Robinson's story, including all the setbacks and triumphs he faced both on and off the field. SI KIDS caught up with its star, Chadwick Boseman (right), who had the tall order of playing the legendary Robinson.

Q. What did you do to prepare to play baseball like Jackie Robinson?

Shortstops going deep into the hole and having to jump and spin to nail the runner at first. A third baseman flying into the stands for a foul ball.

Brian Wilson supports his team by using teammates' heads as drums 2


It's tough not to be a fan of San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson. Whether it's the cool way he gets to the ballpark or his amazing (and somewhat scary) Halloween costume, the guy marches to the beat of his own drum.
