Brush with fame

Soon, the movie "42" will be released. Here is the trailer. It is a Jackie Robinson story.

Much of the action from the movie was filmed in Chattanooga's historical Engel Stadium. Many local residents were hired as extras to fill the stands as baseball fans watching the game(s).

My brother-in-law, MJ, was one of those extras. MJ told me of several scenes where he was right behind star Harrison Ford. Well, in the trailer, you can see MJ's hat. Check it out:






PS - I did confirm this with MJ during a recent visit - he was actually the one who pointed it out.

Funny note: if Harrison Ford's face were not directly in the way, we could see a mannequin to the right of where MJ is sitting. Many mannequins were used to fill seats. .
