We compare the 42 true story to actor Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson in the 42 baseball movie. In examining the fact vs. fiction, we look at the historical accuracy of various scenes in the 42 Jackie Robinson movie, including Jackie's staged photo-op with Phillies manager Ben Chapman, his friendship with Dodgers teammate Pee Wee Reese, getting spiked in the leg by the St. Louis Cardinals Enos Slaughter, and getting hit in the head with a wild pitch from Pirates pitcher Fritz Ostermueller. The role of real-life Pittsburgh Courier sportswriter Wendell Smith, who helps Jackie Robinson in the 42 movie, is also explored. We even reveal whether Jackie really threw a baseball to a young Ed Charles as he boarded a train.

See images of Jackie Robinson's wife, Rachel Robinson, and Harrison Ford as Dodgers owner Branch Rickey. Did Robinson really smash a bat in the tunnel after being verbally assaulted by Ben Chapman? Did Branch Rickey come to console him like Harrison Ford's character does in the 42 movie? Did Pee Wee Reese put his arm around Jackie on the field?
