Many of you may have seen the movie "42," the story of Jackie Robinson, the first black major league baseball player. His team was the Brooklyn Dodgers and his uniform number was 42. Part of the story was about how Branch Rickey took the chance of breaking the "color barrier" by signing Robinson to the team in 1947.
I thought some of the baseball fans out there, along with those who have seen the movie, might enjoy Rickey's 1959 appearance on the then popular game show, "What's My Line?" and years later Jackie Robinson's appearance on "What's My Line?"
