Branch Rickey 3rd during Padres-Dodgers game

Branch Rickey's grandson says a movie about the Jackie Robinson story is aiming for release this fall and Robert Redford will be playing the role of Mr. Rickey. Branch Rickey III sounds like the nicest person you'd ever want to meet. In response to a query by an ESPN announcer, he noted his grandfather was quite religious and never attended a baseball game on a Sunday. Branch Rickey III is president of the Pacific Coast League.
