GB review user review

Brian Helgeland Director

previously directed The Order

A biographical film about the signing of Jackie Robinson and then the legendary career that followed.

Quote: Branch Rickey

You think God likes baseball, Herb?

Herb Pennock

Wha--What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Branch Rickey

It means someday you're gonna meet God and when he inquires as to why you didn't take the field against Robinson in Philadelphia and you answer that its because he was a Negro, IT MAY NOT BE A SUFFICIENT REPLY!
